The new Volkswagen Tayron - The plug-in hybrid drives in technical detail

Quelle: AUTOMOTOTV (Glomex)

Technically, the Tayron's plug-in hybrid drives consist of a 19.7 kWh (net) large lithium-ion high-voltage battery, a power electronics, the four-cylinder turbo engine (1.5 TSI evo2), and a hybrid module (E-machine plus 6-speed eDSG). The battery can be charged not only at AC wall boxes and AC charging stations with 11 kW, but, like an electric car, also at DC fast charging stations with up to 50 kW. Via power electronics, the direct current stored in the battery is converted into the alternating current required by the E-machine. In the base version, the 1.5 TSI evo2 develops a power of 110 kW (150 PS) and thus enables a system power of sketched 150 kW (204 PS) in conjunction with the E-machine, which is 85 kW (115 PS) strong at peak. Alternatively, the top version of the turbo engine with 130 kW (177 PS) is available, which, together with the E-machine, generates a system power of said 200 kW (272 PS). The 150 kW version develops a system torque of 350 Nm, the 200 kW version offers 400 Nm. The 1.5 TSI evo2 is characterized - like the version of the engine also used in the eTSI - by high-tech features such as the TSI-evo combustion process and a VTG turbocharger. Due to the fact that the eHybrid is driven completely electrically whenever possible, cylinder deactivation (ACTplus) is not used here.
