Hybrid Performance: Smooth, Power and Mileage

It is an intelligent mild-hybrid system, which incorporates a belt-driven integrated starter/generator (BISG), which recovers energy during deceleration and delivers a torque-assist boost during acceleration. This is equivalent to a very high fuel economy of as much as 22 kilometers per litre (around 52 MPG) on the highway.
