Zawya.com: 2015 Seoul Motor Show. The Hyundai Sonata PHEV is the company's first Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Although technologically advanced, the PHEV model will behave much like the regular Sonata Hybrid from the driver's seat. A 9.8 kWh lithium polymer battery pack, roughly six times larger than the Sonata Hybrid's battery, is expected to give Sonata Plug-in Hybrid an all-electric range of up to 38.4 km, farther than any other midsize PHEV sedan. The 50 kW electric motor is 32 percent more powerful than the motor in the regular Sonata Hybrid and allows EV operation at higher speeds.
