The system power is 195 kilowatts, 265 horsepower. The maximum torque of the system reaches 350 Nm. All this in pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

The car includes an on-board charger with an output of 7.2 kW, which is quite a common value for plug-in hybrids. Hyundai does not state how long it takes for the battery to charge. We can only estimate that cars of this type will get from zero to one hundred percent from a public charging station or home wallbox in about 2 hours. Then there is a purely electric mode, which according to the carmaker should be enough for 50 km of electricity.
