Hyundai unveils next-generation hybrid system; all-new Palisade will be the first to feature it.

Hyundai Motor recently officially released its next-generation hybrid system. Reportedly, this system is based on 40 years of hybrid R&D experience within the Hyundai Group, integrating internal combustion engine, electric drive control, and intelligent electronic architecture technologies to balance power, fuel economy, and the electrification experience. This new system will debut in Hyundai's imported flagship, the new generation Palisade, which will make its domestic debut in Beijing on August 4th.

Structurally, the system adopts a "P1+P2" dual-motor solution, replacing the traditional "P0+P2" architecture. The P1 motor is directly connected to the engine output shaft, responsible for starting, power generation, and power assistance; the P2 motor is located between the engine and the transmission, handling drive and energy recovery, reducing energy loss and improving response speed.

In terms of motor performance, through optimized cooling structures, the power density per unit volume of the P1 and P2 motors has increased by 20.8%, and the torque density has increased by approximately 6.8%; the transmission has undergone component optimization, increasing torque to 460Nm, a 25% increase, making it suitable for a variety of models from small cars to large SUVs.

The P1 motor is directly connected to the engine output shaft. In terms of powertrain, the system is equipped with a 2.5T turbocharged hybrid engine. It replaces mechanical components such as the main belt with electric actuators, features a high-efficiency expansion cycle (mechanical compression ratio 12.0, using delayed intake valve closing to achieve "over-expansion cycle"), and optimizes the combustion system. Under WLTC conditions (2WD), this engine achieves a fuel consumption of approximately 6.97 liters per 100 kilometers, with a combined maximum output of 334 horsepower and a peak torque of 460 Nm.
