The Hyundai Sonata Plug-In hybrid is hitting dealerships as you read this, and while we already found out that it drives, well, like a hybrid, we have some new information worth sharing, including Hyundai’s claimed 27-mile electric-only range (up from 24 miles as we had previously reported), and an impressive 40 mpg in hybrid operation. This should give the vehicle a total range of about 600 miles, according to Hyundai.

A full charge of the 9.8-kWh lithium-polymer battery pack should take less than three hours when connected to a 240V charger and less than nine hours when plugged into a measly 120V outlet.
-Hyundai also released pricing information for the new plug-in, which starts at $35,435 for the base model, some $8600 more than the non-plug-in version. Factor in the applicable federal tax credit, which Hyundai says amounts to up to $4919, and the price drops to $30,516. Add another $4K for the Limited model.

Just to give some context, the Ford Fusion Energi claims 22 miles of electric range, while the smaller 2016 Chevrolet Volt claims to offer some 50 miles on a charge before the gas engine kicks in. What about the Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid? Well, that car’s officially dead now, but when it was offered, it only mustered 13 miles of electric range.
