Electric motor does most of the work, gas just recharges it, so torque stays flat and predictable.

I can't believe they're packaging memes from years ago into an actual powertrain... gas or diesel generator charging your battery as you go down the road.

That's basically what the Volt was. The Honda sounds almost identical in execution where the EV motor drives most of the time, but under certain load conditions the engine has a direct drive to the wheels because it's more efficient that way.

Like there are ways to fix drone but counting on Hyundai to fixing the downshift behaviour, torque cut and turbo lag? That’s like trying to part the Red Sea…

Drivetrain isn't a strong suite with Hyundai. They are definitely more of a if it's good enough then it's fine. Their marketing goal is to wow you with out there designs and better looking interiors for the same money. I don't think I'd say they are better in quality though.

On the highway if you are using the gas engine, the same issues you complain about would be present on a regular gas car, and when I throw it in sport mode and use the engine, it's fine.

I still think it's calibration when it's something that we've been doing for 40 years before hybridization was so common.

The Jeep 4XE 2.0T & ZF8 combo was mostly fine.

Hyundai undersizes the motors. Sonata has 50hp compared to like 100+ in Camry. Palisade has 70hp compared to 120 in X5.

Does this just look like a Mustang from the side?


EvoFire 11-14-2025 09:35 AM

Convergent evolution, everyone trends toward Mustang.

Yep, 5w40, 0w40 on the E46s. Great way to solve oil burning issue.

I saw this and Hobz needs to do this.

Without other cars around, that looks like a scale model!

Badhobz 11-15-2025 10:50 PM

It’s so utterly stupid….. I love it ! Ugh too bad I can’t lease one of work. 15k for a joke car that costs 15k to repair the stinking roof every few times you use it and 15k for the shitty CVT is too much to stomach

headhunt3r 11-16-2025 08:45 AM

It doesn't solve all your concerns but you could probably just play CVT roulette with a much cheaper used cvt swap if it were to blow. One thing that also helps is changing the fluid despite the original lifetime fluid claims. I had a CVT from new, and sold it working fine with no slip at around 220k km. When changing gears (like from reverse to drive), give it a few seconds before hitting the throttle helps too, as was told by a Nissan tech friend.

bcrdukes 11-16-2025 08:59 AM

RB26DET and manual gearbox swap :derp:

EvoFire 11-16-2025 09:03 AM

If you put on 36s the CVT is gonna blow.

headhunt3r 11-16-2025 09:54 AM

I should have caveated my post that it doesn't apply if you drive a monster truck murano

Anyone watch these car dealer video's. I saw one where a kid had a Hyundai that he owed 10k on but the car was only worth 4k. He wanted to trade it in and lease a Mercedes c63. This one is kind of fckd too.
