This is due to the outstanding characteristics of the THS II hybrid system. The power system is driven by Toyota's original PSD power distributor and the E-CVT transmission mechanism composed of a set of planetary gear sets, which combines the output power of the engine and the electric motor, so that the vehicle power can be freely switched between oil, electricity, oil and electricity hybrid and realize the ideal design requirements of high energy and low consumption.
In terms of specific experience, the Asian Dragon 2.5L hybrid model can be supplemented by the motor torque in the initial stage, so not only does the start have a strong start, but the power output is smoother than that of the turbocharging.
