Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is not only sold its first hybrid, the United States, also includes a completely new lithium-polymer battery technology, which is developed in collaboration with LG Chem. Hyundai has chosen the traditional six-speed automatic for more than a complicated setup that other planets, some of the other car manufacturers have offered their hybrids. There are two systems, electric motor, which decouples the gasoline engine when running on battery power at high speeds, in some situations, cruise or inertia, or like other hybrids, the electric motor assists the engine, or it can help recharge the battery .
Overall, the system is not as transparent as the unit of the Ford and Toyota, is a bit 'lumpier transitions, which are some of the findings, but the Sonata hybrid-electric mode can be driven at higher speeds than other low-cost hybrid, we have seen more than 70 mph without the gas engine is running, some stage.
Sonata hybrid models do not seem so different. Plates is the same, and there is the same spacious interior, but the front and back have changed slightly, and Hybrid networks some significant aerodynamic improvements.
