Hyundai’s new-generation Sonata Hybrid equipped with solar charging panels
Hyundai’s latest hybrid Sonata is equipped with solar cells on the roof. After a full day of baking in the sun, the car’s range can increase by 3-4 miles (about 4.83-6.44 kilometers).
In fact, Hyundai has promoted this model as early as 2020, but it doesn’t seem to have launched it. Now Hyundai looks set to unveil the 2022 Sonata Hybrid.

Hyundai’s official website states that the Sonata Hybrid’s solar panels have a capacity of 204W. That is, 200Wh of electricity will be produced under good lighting conditions. 200Wh isn’t for nothing, but it’s almost impossible to impress with the EV trend.
Hyundai’s official website shows that the 2022 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will only be equipped with a solar roof feature on the highest-end version, which is a limited-edition model that starts at $35,500.
