Engine

Depending on the driving condition and driving mode, the engine operates as a power source or generator for the wheels, and stops when power or power generation is not required.

Motor

The motor transmits the motor power to the wheels using the electrical power of the high voltage battery.

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking uses the motor to decelerate the vehicle. Power is generated by the wheels rotating the motor while decelerating and the generated power charges the high voltage battery.

High Voltage Battery

The high voltage battery is a large-capacity battery and stores the charged power and the electrical power generated by regenerative braking.

Charge port

The charge port connects the charge connector of the charge cable and charges the high voltage battery with power from an external power supply.

AC Power Outlet (120 V/1,500 W)

The AC power outlet (120 V/1,500 W) provides power for household electrical appliances while the vehicle power is switched ON (hybrid system off).

Approaching Vehicle Audible System

The approaching vehicle audible system notifies pedestrians of the vehicle approaching using a warning sound while driving at low speeds.
