If you haven't been keeping count, this is now the fourth powertrain option to make its way into Hyundai's popular compact crossover. Petrol and electric versions remain, with this hybrid effectively replacing the axed diesel model. It's a familiar set-up, with the same 1.6-litre four-pot petrol engine and 32kW electric motor as the Ioniq hybrid. Both work in parallel to drive the front wheels only, and the small 1.56kWh battery pack recharges itself entirely through braking and coasting. Hyundai's choice of six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox should, in theory, mean less droning than a CVT too.
