Hybrid vs Electric vs Fuel Cell Vehicles
Hyundai's Electrified Vehicle lineup is the most versatile and extensive available in Canada. Our fully electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles provide everyone plenty to choose from, no matter the requirements, and are the most awarded vehicles in the country. We're paving the way for sustainable vehicles that are good for the environment and suitable for everyone who owns them. On this page, we'll break down the choices for electrified vehicles so you can pick the ones that suit you the best.
Hyundai Hybrid Vehicles
A hybrid vehicle combines a traditional internal combustion engine with an electric motor that kicks in simultaneously or standalone, depending on the driving conditions. The electric motor is charged by braking while driving the vehicle, termed regenerative braking. Perhaps the best feature of Hybrid vehicles is their outstanding fuel efficiency because of the electric motor that kicks in when there is start-stop traffic and when you're driving under a specific speed limit, reducing fuel burn in the most fuel-demanding situations.

Hyundai Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
Plug-in hybrid vehicles, or PHEVs, take the concept of a hybrid vehicle even further by introducing a bigger battery that can be charged by plugging into an external power source. These vehicles can have even longer ranges in battery-only and hybrid modes. PHEVs can also run on battery-only mode for shorter commutes, providing an excellent way to save fuel for the daily work commute.

Hyundai Electric Vehicles
Electric Vehicles (EVs) or Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are the latest advancements toward our goal of sustainability. These vehicles solely operate on Battery power, with no fuel to burn, and no emissions at all. Our latest generations of EVs have long ranges, require little maintenance, and provide all the features that we have been able to provide with traditional ICE vehicles. They're the next-generation vehicles that can go toe to toe with any other vehicle.

Hyundai Fuel Cell Vehicles
Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs or FCEVs) are the next step in developing a sustainable future for Hyundai. They aim to solve a lot of compromises associated with traditional EVs by utilizing a quick refuelling hydrogen cell stack that fuels just like gas-powered vehicles while emitting nothing more than pure water and air. Not only that, they are quiet and filter/purify the air as they drive. While the technology can still be relatively new, Hyundai has become the first manufacturer to make Fuel Cell Vehicles available to the general public with the all-new Hyundai Nexo.
