Functioning Description of the Complete Hybrid System in the VW T-Roc
Volkswagen Unveils New Full Hybrid System for T-Roc
Volkswagen has announced the development of a full hybrid system for its popular compact SUV, the T-Roc. This innovative system combines a gasoline engine and electric motor to reduce consumption and emissions.
The new hybrid system is independently developed by Volkswagen and will be available in two power levels: one with 136 PS and another with 170 PS, each delivering a torque of 306 Nm. The system is based on the new 1.5 TSI-evo2 engine, optimized for hybrid operation.
The lithium-ion high-voltage battery in the T-Roc is located under the rear, positioned over the rear axle area. However, details about when and how strongly the system can run purely electrically are not available.
The electric motor and automatic transmission in the T-Roc's full hybrid system are integrated into a new hybrid module directly connected to the engine. The electric motor acts on the front axle. The exact power split between the combustion engine and electric motor is not yet clear.
The additional price compared to the mild hybrid variants for the T-Roc's full hybrid system has not been specified. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is initially reserved for stronger TSI variants or later models.
If the minimum consumption of 5.5 liters according to WLTP for the mild hybrid T-Roc is taken as the basis, the hybrid drives would be in the range of 4.7 liters per 100 kilometers. However, the real-world fuel consumption in full hybrid mode for the T-Roc is not yet officially known.
The weight of the full hybrid system, its impact on handling, payload, and space offer for the T-Roc are not yet available. The capacity of the high-voltage battery in the T-Roc's full hybrid system is also not yet known.
The electric compressor for the air conditioning in the T-Roc is attached as an external component to the engine. Volkswagen has not released any statements about CO2 emissions and consumption for the T-Roc's full hybrid system due to the unknown parameters.
The pricing structure for the additional cost of the full hybrid version of the VW T-Roc compared to the mild hybrid versions is determined by Volkswagen itself as part of its streamlined configuration with defined trim levels (T-Roc, Life, Style, and R-Line) and attractive package prices to simplify ordering and pricing transparency.
It's important to note that the consumption advantage mentioned by VW for the T-Roc's full hybrid system does not specify the reference size. Furthermore, there is no cylinder deactivation in the full hybrid version of the T-Roc.
In conclusion, Volkswagen's new full hybrid system for the T-Roc promises improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. While many details are yet to be revealed, the system's integration of a gasoline engine and electric motor offers a promising step towards more sustainable mobility solutions.
