The Hybrid System was developed to deliver a high-level balance between high output and excellent fuel economy, offering driving performance characteristic of an electric vehicle. The combination of a highly efficient 2.0-litre inline engine with a high-output motor and lithium-ion battery enhances acceleration feel, sporty control for driving tailored to the driver’s preferences. It enhances the deceleration range controlled by accelerator pedal operation to reduce the burden of brake control, and contributes to smooth, responsive and comfortable driving.
