| Feature | Super Hybrid with DM Technology | Traditional PHEV |
|---|---|---|
| Primary source of power | ✓ Electric motor does most of the work | ✗ Mix of petrol + electric |
| Engine behaviour | ✓ Engine mostly generates electricity quietly | ✗ Often revs hard when accelerating |
| Smoothness | ✓ One seamless electric-first system | ✗ Can feel like two systems competing |
| Efficiency | ✓ Consistently ultra-efficient | ✗ Highly variable |
| EV feeling | ✓ EV-like driving experience | ✗ Partial |
Both. It’s a plug-in hybrid with a range-extender-style logic: the electric motor drives the car most of the time, while the engine supports it efficiently.
Charging maximises savings, but Super DM-i remains extremely efficient even without frequent charging — unlike typical PHEVs.
Yes, but only at high speeds when it’s more efficient.
Because the engine isn’t constantly revving or switching, and the electric motor handles most of the work.
It allows your car to act as a mobile powerbank, supplying electricity for tools, camping gear, appliances, and emergencies.
