Hybrids use their gas engine and electric motor separately or together, depending on the speed. It’s why they tend to have better fuel efficiency than their gas-only counterparts. The motor’s battery is recharged by the gas engine and through regenerative braking, so there’s no need for you to plug in to an outlet.

A hybrid battery doesn’t have to be plugged into an outlet. Instead it’s charged by the gas engine and through regenerative braking, which captures energy during braking or deceleration and turns it into electricity.

Hybrids combine a gas engine with an electric motor and battery. The vehicle intelligently switches between these power sources or uses both together, depending on driving needs. For instance, at slower speeds, they often only use the electric motor—with the gas engine providing extra power during acceleration and at higher speeds. This dual-power approach tends to have better fuel efficiency compared to conventional vehicles.

A hybrid vehicle is a car that uses both a gas engine and an electric motor for power. This combination helps improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance overall performance by switching between or combining the two power sources as needed.

Hybrid battery longevity depends on many different factors, from driving habits to climate conditions. But with Hyundai’s Limited Battery Warranty, you can drive with confidence knowing your Hyundai hybrid battery is covered for 10 years/100,000 miles.⁠

TUCSON Hybrid has a powertrain that combines a gas engine with an electric motor. Regenerative braking and the engine recharge the battery, so you never have to plug in.

We have five hybrid vehicles in our lineup: TUCSON Hybrid, SANTA FE Hybrid, PALISADE Hybrid, ELANTRA Hybrid, and SONATA Hybrid.

The 2026 TUCSON Hybrid starting MSRP is $32,450, the 2026 SANTA FE Hybrid starting MSRP is $36,400, the 2026 PALISADE Hybrid starting MSRP is $44,160, the 2026 ELANTRA Hybrid starting MSRP is $25,450, and the 2026 SONATA Hybrid starting MSRP is $29,200.

MSRP excludes freight charges, tax, title, and license fees. Freight charges and actual dealer prices may vary. Vehicles displayed may contain optional equipment at additional cost. Accessory items shown may vary according to model and illustration.

Yes, Hyundai hybrid vehicles are well suited for long drives because they use gas and electric power together and do not need to be plugged in. Actual MPG and driving range vary by model, trim, driving conditions and vehicle condition.

No. Hyundai hybrid vehicles do not need home charging equipment or public chargers. Their batteries recharge through the gas engine and regenerative braking, which captures energy during braking or deceleration.
