Hyundai Motor Group unveiled its next-generation hybrid system. It features improved fuel efficiency and power performance, along with electrification specialized technologies including V2L, which allows the use of electric vehicle power externally.
Hyundai Motor Group noted that it has developed a next-generation hybrid system that can be applied across various vehicle classes, including compact, mid-size, full-size, and luxury, at the 'Next-Generation Hybrid System Tech Day' held in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 10th.
The next-generation hybrid system from Hyundai Motor Group is characterized by its ability to combine various engine lineups with a new transmission that incorporates two motors. It added a new motor (P1) that performs starting, generating, and driving assistance functions to an existing drive motor (P2) responsible for drive and regenerative braking.
The P1 motor is attached directly to the engine, which is key in reducing friction losses compared to the existing system and enhancing energy delivery efficiency. According to Hyundai, it improves fuel efficiency and power performance simultaneously by assisting driving power with the P2 motor depending on driving conditions.
The new Palisade equipped with this system (gasoline 2.5 turbo hybrid system) recorded a maximum output of 334 horsepower, a maximum torque of 46.9 kgf·m, and a fuel efficiency of 14.1 km per liter. Its output is approximately 19%, torque is 9%, and fuel efficiency is 45% improved compared to existing gasoline models of the same class.
This system also incorporates various electrification specialized technologies such as V2L, smart regenerative braking, stay mode, and an electronic all-wheel-drive system (e-AWD). Through the stay mode, it allows the use of all vehicle convenience functions including climate control and multimedia without starting the engine while parked before and after driving.
Hyundai Motor Group plans to expand the application of the next-generation hybrid system to various models including compact, mid-size, full-size, and luxury, starting with the new Palisade. By 2026, it aims to sequentially equip major Genesis models with rear-wheel-drive 2.5 turbo hybrids.
