Genesis has unveiled its next-generation HYBE-lead system and will first equip it in the GV80 HYBE-lead, scheduled for release this September.
The new system combines a 2.5-liter turbo gasoline engine with two motors: a P1 motor responsible for starting and power generation, and a P2 motor handling driving and regenerative braking. Combined peak output reaches 352 horsepower, with combined maximum torque at 54.0 kgf·m. Compared to the existing 2.5-liter gasoline turbo model, peak output has increased by approximately 16%, and maximum torque by 26%.
According to internal testing by the research institute, acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h takes about 7.1 seconds. Based on the two-wheel drive, five-passenger model with 19-inch tires, combined fuel economy has improved by more than 25% compared to the existing gasoline model. Official fuel economy certified by government institutional investors will be disclosed at a later date.
This marks the first time a Hyundai Motor Group HYBE-lead vehicle is equipped with a water-cooled battery system. The system efficiently controls battery temperature to enhance discharge output and enable more active battery utilization. It also expands the driving range powered solely by the motor. From the moment of departure up to 30 km/h, the vehicle runs exclusively on the motor, reducing noise and vibration in underground parking lots or congested traffic zones.
Drivetrain quietness has been significantly improved. The final drive ratio between the transmission and wheels was lowered, and a new damper designed to cancel vibrations along with a rear-wheel seven-speed automatic transmission were applied. During reverse driving, the motor rotates in the opposite direction to provide propulsion. Gear components related to reversing have been removed to reduce transmission weight and improve power transmission efficiency.
Acceleration responsiveness has also been enhanced. When the accelerator pedal is pressed deeply while traveling at 100 km/h, gear shifting and engine clutch control are executed simultaneously. This allows for re-acceleration that is 18% faster than in existing gasoline models.
HYBE-lead-specific features have also been added. "Stay Mode" enables the use of air conditioning and multimedia systems using the high-voltage battery without starting the engine. "Hierarchical Predictive Control" analyzes driving routes and road conditions to automatically regulate battery charge levels. "Smart Regenerative Braking" recognizes the location of speed cameras and inter-vehicle distances to automatically adjust braking intensity.
The accompanying GV80 HYBE-lead features a dedicated grille and wheels. Inside, four new color options—Obsidian Black, Taiga Green, Ultramarine Blue, and Travertine Beige—are available, along with real wood garnish and quilting patterns.
