Dual-motor hybrid tech boosts power and fuel efficiency by up to 45 percent Covers 100–300+ PS range, starting with the new PALISADE hybrid Smarter engine control for smoother, more responsive driving
Hyundai has introduced its all-new next-generation hybrid powertrain. This new system is designed to offer better fuel efficiency, more power, and a smoother driving experience. It will be used in a wide range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, from small cars to large SUVs.

Hyundai’s new hybrid setup includes a smart transmission with two electric motors:
The P1 motor helps with starting the engine, generating power for the battery, and assisting while driving.
The P2 motor provides main power for driving and regenerative braking.
Together, these motors help improve fuel economy, boost performance, and make the car quieter and more comfortable to drive.
This system can work with many types of petrol engines and across different car sizes—from small hatchbacks to luxury SUVs. Power output ranges from the low-100 PS to the mid-300 PS, giving Hyundai flexibility to use it in many future models.
The new system debuts with a 2.5-liter turbo hybrid engine, which features improved flow dynamics and an over-expansion combustion cycle that boosts engine efficiency. This hybrid engine, debuting in the all-new Hyundai PALISADE hybrid, delivers:
Fuel efficiency: 14.1 km/l
System output: 334 PS
Maximum torque: 460 Nm
Compared to its non-hybrid counterpart, the 2.5 turbo hybrid delivers 45% better fuel efficiency, 19% more power, and a 9% increase in torque.
Alongside the 2.5L unit, Hyundai is also introducing a 1.6-liter turbo hybrid engine, designed for mid-size SUVs. This powertrain improves fuel economy by more than 4% over its predecessor and increases torque output from 367 Nm to 380 Nm, offering better acceleration and overall responsiveness.
Drawing from the Group’s award-winning E-GMP electric platform, the new hybrid system incorporates EV-inspired features such as:
Stay Mode for prolonged comfort
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality for external power usage
Smart Regenerative Braking for intuitive energy recovery
These features reflect Hyundai’s commitment to elevating the hybrid experience to match its cutting-edge electric vehicles.
With plans to scale the new hybrid transmission across various engines and vehicle classes, Hyundai Motor Group will grow its hybrid lineup from three to five models. Mass production of the new Hyundai PALISADE hybrid began this month, with more models from both Hyundai and Kia set to adopt the new system.
By 2026, the Group aims to introduce a rear-wheel-drive version of the 2.5 turbo hybrid, with gradual integration of this advanced powertrain into premium Genesis models.
