OK, we've done the number for the Prius, where are the Honda CVT numbers? |
Are the numbers the same for the TCH CVT?
I've heard references to the TCH as the "third" generation HSD. Does anyone have any links discussing the Camry Hybird or know if this is so? I'm curious as to if and how the TCH HSD is different from the Prius HSD.
All I really know at this time is the inverter has been redesigned and smaller, that MG1 is rated 140HP, of which 40HP can come from the 244V battery pack with hard acceleration.
I've also noticed the TCH will drop into EV mode in literally just a second after removing my foot from the gas if my speed is under 44mph. I'm wondering how much wear and tear I'm subjecting the PSD and MG1 to when I'm coasting/maintaining speeds around 35 to 40mph on EV only power?
