Engine Hyundai
To choose from, the buyer offers two petrol engines: a base, a V-shaped six-cylinder twin-turbo, a displacement of 3.3 liters and capacity of 365 HP, and a top V-shaped eight-cylinder, 420 outstanding forces, whereby acceleration up to 11 miles per hour in just 5.7 seconds. Power of both engines is more than enough for a fairly heavy sedan equipped with many energy-intensive systems, so future buyers will not have to choose between price and mediocre thrust-to-weight, since mass is in the range of 2.42 to 2.59 tons, depending on the installed equipment.
Both motors are aggregated eight-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the choice offered rear-or all-wheel drive.
Due to the electronic transfer case in the slippery coating on the front axle can be transferred 40% of the torque. All-wheel drive system is fully controlled with rotary switch with four positions: Eco, Smart, Sport and individual settings. In Sport mode, the system transmits 10% of the torque to the front and 90 on the rear axle, and in Eco mode the car actually translates into rear wheel drive mode.
Regardless of control switch four-wheel drive, automatic transmission will select the mode based on the driving style and the torque of the engine.
