Splitting power produced by the petrol engine between the drive train and the generator
The HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE power splitting device distributes the power produced by the petrol engine to the drive train and to the generator. To divide the power efficiently, it uses a planetary gear consisting of a ring gear, pinion gears, a sun gear and a planetary carrier.
- The rotating axle of the planetary carrier is directly connected to the petrol engine and rotates the perimeter ring gear and the sun gear inside via the pinion gears.
- The rotating axle of the ring gear is directly connected to the electric motors, and thus transfers the driving power to the wheels. The axle of the sun gear is directly connected to the generator and converts the power produced by the petrol engine into electric energy.

Does the battery compromise boot space?
No. And there is plenty of room for the family luggage in the boot, which has a handy removable floor board to accommodate tall items
