What Electric and Hybrid Models Does Hyundai Offer?

Many drivers around Atlanta want to spend less time and money at the gas pump. Some want to skip it completely. Hyundai’s 2026 and 2027 lineup makes both easy, with hybrids, a plug-in hybrid, and a full family of electric vehicles. At SouthTowne Hyundai of Riverdale, we’re here to help you find the right one.

Three Types of Electrified Vehicles

• Hybrid: A gas engine works with an electric motor. The battery charges as you drive, so there’s nothing to plug in.
• Plug-in hybrid (PHEV): A bigger battery you charge at home or at a station. You can drive short trips on electricity alone, and the gas engine takes over when needed.
• Electric vehicle (EV): Battery power only. No gas, no oil changes for an engine, just charging.
