Hyundai engines: These are the engines Hyundai uses in its cars
.
The South Korean Hyundai Motor Company is one of the world’s largest car manufacturers. The group offers various passenger cars and also minibuses with different drive concepts. In the beginning, the company, which was founded in 1967, used bought-in engines, but today all Hyundai engines are developed in-house.
Hyundai equips its vehicles with various petrol and diesel engines, which are considered robust and resilient. In order to reduce fuel consumption, various alternative drive systems such as hybrids have also been developed. Cars with electric drive are offered by Hyundai through the group’s own sub-brand Ioniq.
