This hybrid system for front-wheel drive vehicles is more compact than previous models, overcoming the challenges of current hybrid systems that limit vehicle platforms. It is possible to install the system into a wide range of vehicles, from medium-sized to large-size front-wheel drive cars and four-wheel drive models, expanding customer choice for hybrids.

The hybrid system improves driving performance and fuel consumption by using the motor to regenerate power during deceleration and store it in the battery, as well as supporting the engine by using the battery to power the motor for low-speed EV driving and acceleration. Further, fuel consumption is enhanced by using the battery to power the car's electronic components when the vehicle is parked. As the engine can be separated from the drive-train when necessary, the power source for both the engine and motor can be utilized optimally, meaning there is also no loss from engine friction when regenerating with the engine separated from the powertrain or during EV driving.

The system employs Intelligent Dual Clutch Control, combining one motor and two clutches to implement a front-wheel drive hybrid system that is lightweight and compact. Clutch 1 is set up between the engine and motor, while Clutch 2 is installed between the motor and the CVT. Use of the engine or motor can be differentiated according to the circumstances by selecting "on" or "off" for Clutch 1, making for efficient driving.
