The world's first two-mode
hybrid propulsion system in an SUV, this patented hybrid technology
optimizes fuel economy for various driving
conditions.
- First Mode: Used at low speed
and with light loads. Vehicle can operate in three ways:
electric power only, engine power only, or a combination of electric
and engine power.
- Second Mode: Used primarily at
highway speeds and includes Active Fuel Management. Provides
full engine power when conditions demand it, such as passing, trailer
towing and climbing steep grades.
