As Hyundai rolls out its all new, second generation 2016 Sonata Hybrid it’s now joined by the company’s first plug-in hybrid. With a class-leading range of up to 24 miles on electric power alone, the Sonata PHEV gives Sonata shoppers yet another choice in efficient motoring. In electric mode, this Sonata is forecast to deliver 93 MPGe – the miles per gallon equivalent for electric vehicles. But unlike a pure electric, the Sonata PHEV provides the range assurance of a traditional hybrid by pairing a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a 50kW electric motor. When operating in this mode, mileage is expected to be 40mpg in combined driving.
