What is the top speed of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid?
Watching the gas prices rise makes me want to get a hybrid but I’ve always heard that they’re not as fast as a gas-powered car. Can you tell me what the top speed of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid is?

Hybrid technology has come a long way and the top speed of hybrids might surprise you!
The top speed of a
Hyundai Sonata Hybrid
is 135 mph. It can also reach from zero to 60-mph in 7.3 seconds.There are different types of hybrids that use their electric and gas-powered engines differently. Below is a breakdown of how each type works:
- Parallel hybrid: Uses either the electric motor or gas-powered motor depending on the driving conditions.
- Series hybrid: Travels a significant distance using the electric motor, then switches to gas to recharge the battery on the go.
- Full hybrid: Will first run on the stored electricity and switch to the gas-powered engine to extend its range.
- Mild hybrid: Primarily uses the gas-powered engine and improves the fuel economy by using the electric motor.
- Plug-in hybrid: Primarily uses the stored electricity and switches to gas when the battery runs out. They can be recharged by plugging them in at a public charging station or at home.
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles can be more expensive to repair so having the right insurance is important to ensure the costs are covered. You can also take this time to shop for better rates on the
