Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system
What is the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system?
— In Electric Vehicle Drive Mode, the vehicle is
driven only by the electric motors, just like an
electric vehicle, up to a certain distance, using the
electricity stored in the battery. When the battery
charge is low or when powerful acceleration is
needed, the vehicle operates in Series Hybrid Mode.
In high-speed driving, the vehicle is driven by the
engine in Parallel Hybrid Mode.
— The high-performance electric motors greatly
reduce noise and vibration while driving and
provide powerful acceleration.
— The regenerative braking system automatically
starts to charge the battery when the accelerator
pedal is released.

Electric Vehicle 'EV' Drive Mode
The vehicle is driven only by the motors,
using electricity stored in the battery.
Series Hybrid Mode
When the battery level is low, or during
rapid acceleration or hill climbing, the
vehicle is driven only by the motors using
petrol engine-generated electricity.
Parallel Hybrid Mode
In high-speed driving, when the engine
runs efficiently, the vehicle is driven by
the engine and is assisted by the motors
when necessary.
In each case, the flow of energy
is displayed on the instrument
cluster and/or centre display.
