Key Features
100% motor-driven propulsion; even when the engine runs, it operates at low RPM, resulting in very quiet driving
Second-row seats can be folded to create a flat cargo floor
Three driving modes: ECO / Normal / POWER
Silent Mode can be selected simultaneously to prevent engine startup
Power supply mode while stationary (High / Low), allowing the vehicle to be used as a mobile generator
Charging and power output ports are accessible through the front grille, so there is no risk of being locked out even if the hood cannot be opened due to a dead battery
Cruise control adjustable from 30 to 170 km/h in 1 km/h increments
Traction Control System (TCS) linked to slope detection and reverse gear
Front differential improves cornering performance, especially at low to medium speeds
Display Information
ODO: Total mileage
km/L: Current average fuel economy
(Displays 0 until the engine starts for the first time)
Control Logic
The engine automatically turns on and off to keep the traction battery state of charge above 75%
Under normal conditions, the engine operates only within its most efficient RPM range; if the battery charge becomes critical, the gear ratio is reduced and engine RPM increases
Power Supply Mode – High (GH): Engine RPM increases to the highest level allowed by cooling limits, generating power at maximum output
Power Supply Mode – Low (GL): Engine RPM is fixed at the point of highest efficiency under all conditions
Notes & Warnings
The traction battery and auxiliary battery are managed separately.
If the auxiliary battery is depleted for any reason, activate the emergency circuit located at the lower right of the driver’s seat to connect it to the traction battery.
When supplying power to external devices via the grille port, always set the vehicle to Power Supply Mode (GL or GH). Otherwise, the auxiliary battery will be drained.
When battery charge drops due to external power supply, there is a short delay before the engine starts to allow boost pressure to build.
Even in Silent Mode, the engine will start if the battery charge becomes critically low.
Regenerative braking on the front wheels is the primary deceleration method, so braking feel is relatively gentle.
If the battery warning light turns on, charge externally or briefly activate the emergency circuit to recover.
Miscellaneous
Modification, disassembly, reuse of parts, and redistribution without credit are all allowed.
If you try it out, I’d love to hear your feedback!
Extra Notes
Honestly, this model outperforms the minivan version in driving performance, fuel economy, and price.
By eliminating sliding doors and the third-row seat, interior space is used more efficiently. While overall cargo volume may be smaller, it actually provides more practical storage space for tools and equipment.
Additionally, the smaller traction battery capacity may enhance the “series hybrid” feel, making the engine–generator interaction more noticeable and engaging.
