Hyundai Plug-In Hybrid vs. Hybrid vs. Electric


Hyundai Hybrid

Since electrified vehicles continue to modernize and more options like Hyundai plug-in hybrid cars have become available, customers are increasingly curious about the nuances between the different types of electrified models at our dealership. While all three types use electricity in some fashion, there are plenty of differences to be aware of. Visit Sansone Hyundai to learn more. 

Hybrid 

The first iteration of electric vehicles to arrive on the market was the hybrid vehicle. The technology hasn’t changed much since its introduction – you’ll receive a standard gasoline engine that’s paired with an electric motor and battery. As a driver, you can choose whether you want to drive using both power sources, just gas, or just electricity. 

Hybrid vehicles can often only travel short distances using only electricity. However, you’ll still get many great benefits like excellent gas mileage, lower emissions, and the ability to still fill up at the gas station when needed. 

Plug-In Hybrid 

Plug-in hybrid vehicles are the next step toward total electrification. You can normally expect to get around a 40-mile all-electric range when driving something like the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid since the battery is much larger. Plug-in hybrid models are the best of both worlds since they can be plugged in to charge or refueled at the gas station.

Electric (EV) 

Electric cars

If you’re looking to totally break free from your gasoline engine, you’ll want to consider a fully electric vehicle like the 2023 Hyundai IONIQ 5. It might be more expensive up front, but you’ll save money over time since you’ll never have to visit a gas station and maintenance for electric vehicles is needed on a less frequent basis. EVs are also incredibly fun to drive due to the instant torque delivery.
