The system works in three main modes of operation. The EV Drive offers 100% electric traction at low speeds, ideal for urban congestion. The Hybrid Drive combines the engines in an optimized way, prioritizing energy regeneration during braking. The Engine Drive exclusively uses the combustion engine on long-distance highways. The transition between modes occurs automatically, without driver intervention.

  • EV Drive: pure electric drive for heavy urban traffic.
  • Hybrid Drive: optimized combination of power and economy.
  • Engine Drive: exclusive thermal engine for highway travel.

In the urban cycle, consumption reaches 17.8 km/l, making the model efficient for drivers who face daily traffic. The technology reduces emissions by up to 40% compared to conventional sedans, according to data from Honda. The system does not require an external plug-in, recharging via braking and thermal motor, simplifying everyday use.
