electric motor, although the peak
power for the powertrain is capped at 398bhp due to the peak outputs of the internal combustion engine and the
electric motor arriving at
different engine /
motor speeds.
The Plug - in version of Hyundai's hyrbrid, however, gets a larger
electric motor (67 horsepower versus the base Hybrid's 51) and boasts more «net» horsepower — the maximum
power of both

electric and gas
motors peak at
different speeds — with 202 horses versus the base Hybrid's 193.

power curve across rotational speeds for smooth handling at
different vehicle speeds, such as a traction
electric motor.

different cases: during deceleration to feed the supercapacitor and during acceleration to directly
power the rear
electric motors.
The
electric motor kicks in 80 additional horsepower but because the two forms of motive
power deliver their maximum output at
different points, peak horsepower is stated at 134.
Because the gasoline engine and
electric motor deliver peak
power at
different times, total system output can't be calculated by just adding the two figures together.
The cars new two -
motor powertrain, similar to the one in the Accord Plug - in, allows it to run in 3
different modes: «EV Drive,» which solely runs on lithium - ion battery
power, «Engine Drive,» which sends
power directly to the front wheels, or «Hybrid Drive,» which mates the 124 kW
electric motor to the all - new 2.0 liter Atkinson - cycle engine.
