Hyundai Motor Company applies Korea’s first next-generation hybrid system to the new Grandeur

Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 9th that it has applied the 1.6 turbo next-generation hybrid system to the recently launched ‘The New Grandeur’ for the first time in Korea.

On this day, Hyundai Motor Company opened ‘The New Grandeur Tech Pop-up Store’ at Informal Square in Seongdong-gu, Seoul and unveiled major new technologies applied to the new Grandeur.

The next-generation hybrid system introduced this time combines ‘engine stopping angle control’ and ‘motor reverse phase control’ technologies to improve vehicle quietness.

Engine stopping angle control technology is a technology that precisely controls the position of the crankshaft of the starting motor (P1) when switching from engine driving to motor driving. Through this, vibration that occurs when the engine restarts is reduced by up to 51%.

Motor anti-phase control technology is a principle in which the starting motor (P1) and driving motor (P2) generate torque in the opposite direction to engine vibration to cancel out vibration.

In addition, the new Grandeur reduced vibration entering the car body by increasing the thickness of the main pipe of the cowl crossbar that connects the steering wheel and the car body.

By optimizing the air flow throughout the vehicle body, the coefficient of air resistance (Cd) based on the hybrid model was lowered from 0.27 to 0.26.

It is the first Hyundai car to be equipped with the next-generation infotainment platform ‘Pleos Connect’, allowing users to use services such as Gleo AI and Pleos App Market.

A Hyundai Motor Company official said, “The New Grandeur Tech Pop-up Store is Hyundai Motor Company’s first technology-focused pop-up store and is a place where general customers can directly experience Grandeur’s cutting-edge technology.”
