How does a hybrid car work?
A hybrid car is based on a major technological innovation: hybrid technology that combines an internal combustion engine with an electric motor.
From the moment you start driving and at low speeds, the vehicle prioritises electric power, offering a quiet and responsive driving experience. This innovation makes it possible to get the most out of each engine at the right moment.
Depending on driving conditions, the system automatically switches between three propulsion modes:
- electric propulsion (100% electric)
- hybrid propulsion (combined internal combustion and electric motors)
- internal combustion engine
This smart energy management system, a true testament to innovation born from years of research and expertise, adapts in real time to acceleration, terrain, and battery charge. Paired with a multimode automatic gearbox, it ensures an optimal balance between performance, comfort and fuel efficiency.
Some models also offer a dedicated mode to temporarily prioritise electric driving.
