HOW SHS WORKS
Electric when it makes sense.
Petrol when you need it.
SHS intelligently adapts to every part of your drive—delivering quiet electric performance around town, confident power on the open road and greater freedom for longer Australian journeys.
Quiet around town
Smooth, electric-first response for everyday traffic.
Power when you need it
Petrol and electric power work intelligently together.
Ready for the open road
Long-range flexibility without changing the way you drive.
One drive. Five intelligent responses.
SHS changes with the road.
You do not need to choose a technical mode. The system continuously responds to vehicle speed, accelerator demand, battery level and driving conditions—selecting the right balance of electric and petrol power in the background.

01. Quiet Start: Quiet from the moment you move.
The high-voltage battery powers the electric motor for a smooth, near-silent pull-away. You'll feel immediate response without the engine starting.
02. City flow: Smooth through stop-start traffic.
At urban speeds, the battery and electric motor keep the drive quiet, smooth and responsive. You'll feel an EV-like feel for everyday city movement.
03. Acceleration: Power arrives when you ask for it.
The engine and electric motor can work together to deliver immediate response with sustained power for merging or overtaking. You'll feel Confident acceleration with power in reserve.
04. Open road: Settle into the open road.
At a steady higher speed, the engine can efficiently drive the vehicle through the Dedicated Hybrid Transmission. You'll feel relaxed long-distance cruising with electric support available.
05. Energy recovery: Slowing down helps recharge the battery.
As the vehicle decelerates, the front electric motor reverses its role and recovers energy that would otherwise be lost. You will feel the SHS seamlessly putting energy back into the system with your everyday braking.
Always adapting
SHS thinks ahead, so you don't have to.
You simply drive. SHS continuously considers what the vehicle needs and selects an appropriate energy path in the background.

Meet the system
Each component has one clear role.
SHS coordinates dedicated petrol and electric technology to support a smooth, efficient and responsive drive across changing conditions.
The 5th Generation Hybrid Engine
Efficiency Drives Performance.
Engineered to deliver an exceptional balance of performance and fuel efficiency, the fifth-generation hybrid engine achieves up to 44.5% thermal efficiency.* Advanced technologies, including the Deep Miller Cycle, intelligent combustion management and an integrated thermal management system, help optimise energy use across a wide range of driving conditions.
Dedicated Hybrid Transmission (DHT)
Smooth Power. Intelligent Efficiency.
The Dedicated Hybrid Transmission intelligently coordinates power from the engine and electric motor to deliver smooth, responsive acceleration and efficient performance. With electric-drive efficiency of up to 98.5%,* it helps provide a refined and quiet driving experience across everyday journeys.
High-Safety Hybrid Battery
Intelligent Protection. Confidence on Every Journey.
Designed with a multi-layer battery protection system, the hybrid battery continuously monitors temperature and operating conditions in real time. In the event of an abnormal condition, the system can initiate rapid power isolation, supported by additional protective measures designed to help safeguard the battery and its occupants.
Model-specific tuning
Different SHS systems. Tuned for different vehicles.
The exact SHS configuration varies by model. Refer to each vehicle page for confirmed drivetrain, performance and efficiency specifications.
1DHT
Everyday efficiency
Optimised to support smooth, efficient driving across common urban and open-road conditions.
|
3DHT
Wider operating range
Uses additional transmission ratios to support performance and efficiency across a broader range of driving conditions. |
