Hyundai’s next generation of hybrid technology will power an increasing number of gas-electric automobiles. In addition to revealing the name of the Ioniq 9, Hyundai said that soon, all Genesis cars will have a hybrid engine. Hyundai’s new plug-in hybrid system with a range of 550 miles is set to be released in 2027. People will be able to buy these cars. Hyundai has shared a road map that shows its plans for the next few years and beyond. The company’s new plan is to grow its hybrid footprint in various ways. Hyundai’s high-end brand Genesis, for instance, will have gas-electric drivetrains. Hyundai has formally announced that its new three-row electric SUV will be called the Ioniq 9. Sales will begin later this year. Hyundai Goes Big on Hybrids Hyundai said at its 2024 CEO Investor Day that it thinks demand for hybrid cars will grow a lot, especially in North America. To prepare, the business wants to increase the number of hybrid cars it sells from seven to fourteen. This is also true for the Genesis range, where each gas-powered car will have a hybrid version. Also, Hyundai shared important information about TMED-II, its next-generation hybrid system. The hybrid powertrain has been updated and is said to have “significantly improved” performance and gas mileage. For now, we won’t have to wait long for more information. Hyundai has already said that production of the TMED-II will start early in the following year coming soon, hybrid Hyundais will also have “smart” regenerative brakes and the ability to go from “vehicle-to-load” (V2L). The company’s plant in Georgia will make hybrid cars as well as electric cars. Soon, there will be a new plug-in hybrid Like some other companies, Hyundai wants to make 21 electric vehicles by 2030. To help close the difference, the company is also investing in gas-electric vehicles. There are now a number of plug-in hybrid types available, but they all use the more common parallel system. Hyundai said that their next “extended-range EV” will be a series hybrid. This means that it will be driven by electricity alone, but it will also have a gas engine generator. The PHEV from Hyundai should be in stores in 2027, and it will be mass-produced in North America (and China) by the end of 2026. The new plug-in technology is likely to be first used in big SUVs like the Hyundai Palisade and Genesis GV80. This will likely happen before it is added to more cars. Sources say that the new plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) will have an all-wheel drive with two motors and will be able to go more than 550 miles before the gas-powered engine needs to be charged again.
