Overview

• Hyundai's new P1+P2 hybrid system, now in production on the Palisade, combines a traction motor and starter motor within the transmission for smoother performance and reduced energy loss.
• The system boosts torque by 25% and achieves 334 horsepower and 14.1 km/L fuel efficiency, marking a 45% improvement in power and a 19% increase in fuel efficiency compared to conventional gasoline models.
• EV-inspired features like 'Stay Mode,' enabling HVAC and infotainment use with the engine off for up to one hour, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology with a 3.6 kW output are included.
• Hyundai plans to expand the hybrid system across its Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands, increasing hybrid powertrain configurations from three to five by next year.
• The move aligns with rising hybrid vehicle demand, which accounted for 26.5% of domestic automakers' sales in 2024, as global EV adoption slows.
