Motor blends

The 1.6L engine and front electric motor blend power through a six-speed automatic. Engine-off movement depends on conditions and is not guaranteed. This is a conventional : no plug or driver-selected electric range.

How this works

Qualitative power flow, not a traction, torque-split, fuel-use or stopping-distance prediction. Hybrid has a front motor and six-speed automatic; V6 has an eight-speed automatic. Neither offers AWD, a rear motor, low range or an axle lock.
