Hyundai feels like they have delivered the perfect SUV for you, with the new Smartstream engines packaged in traditional gasoline-only, Hybrid, and Plug-In Hybrid model lines. The Limited trim in the Hybrid line will be the focus of this review.
Powering the Hybrid models is a 1.6L turbo inline-four which produces 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Add the 44.2-kW electric motor, and the total power output becomes 226 horsepower. The engine power is routed through a six-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC and Shift-By-Wire. Drive Mode Select and Downhill Brake Control add driving performance customization and safety.
