Efficiency is also greatly improved. Hyundai claims 21.3km/L, and I managed 20.4km/L over three days of driving. It's not the most efficient hybrid system in the market (you can get some crazy figures with a Prius), but it's still a marked improvement over the previous drivetrain.

There is also a Sport mode, but where this car is most in its element is in being driven lightly (and in either Eco or Smart mode). Engine noises are kept relatively at bay, NVH dampening is quite good, and there is an overall smoothness to the experience that the hybrid drivetrain affords that really improves the driving experience.
