Hyundai Regenerative Braking

2023 Hyundai Tucson Driving Off Road
 

More and more drivers in the Louisville and Radcliff areas are in search of a vehicle that optimizes efficiency. Fortunately, the Hyundai lineup is full of vehicles that either help you get the most out of every drop of fuel or run on electricity alone. EVs like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 take advantage of Hyundai regenerative braking. How does Hyundai regenerative braking work? We dive into the details below. 

 

 

What is Regenerative Braking?

So, what exactly is Hyundai regenerative braking? It is a feature that allows the vehicle to recuperate and store energy when the car slows down as the driver presses the brake pedal. This ensures optimal range no matter where the road takes you. 

Hyundai Regenerative Braking Level 

With models like the IONIQ 5, you have different available options for the Hyundai regenerative braking level. Here is how they compare. 

  • High: At this Hyundai regenerative braking level, the vehicle is able to capture more energy during deceleration. With the i-Pedal mode, you do not even have to use the brake pedal. Simply take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. 
  • Low: With this level, you recuperate less energy, but you get longer and smoother coasting when you remove your foot from the accelerator. 
  • Smart: Set the Hyundai regenerative braking system to AUTO, and this smart setting will adjust the regenerative braking feature based on the speed and distance of the vehicle ahead. 

How Does Hyundai Regenerative Braking Work? 

You can choose which Hyundai regenerative braking level you prefer by using paddles mounted on the steering wheel. You also may have the option to choose the level by using the “Eco Vehicle” tab on the vehicle’s infotainment touchscreen. Find and adjust the Hyundai regenerative braking level on the lower bar of the digital instrument cluster display.
