In essence, the EREV setup makes use of a new powertrain and power electronics (PT/PE) system to enable four-wheel drive with the application of two motors. However, the operation is powered solely by electrical power with the engine being used only for battery charging, as seen in series hybrids. Hyundai claims EREV’s combined (ICE + EV) range stands at 900 kilometres when fully charged. In its initial days, it will be aimed at the North American and Chinese markets serving as a bridge to electrification. Production starts in 2026, followed by a launch in 2027.
