Thought I'd start a fresh thread on this vehicle. Final specs are not out yet, but may be introduced in two weeks when it makes its NA debut at the LA Auto Show.
It features a super charged turbo 4 cyl "Drive-E" engine driving the front wheels and a 60-kilowatt electric motor driving the rear.
It can be driven in all electric mode up to 25 miles and does have regenerative braking.
The 2-liter gas engine has 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque while the electric motor has 80-hp and 177 pound-feet of torque for a combined 396 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque!
They have not published the actual hitch weight limit yet, probably dependent on what class hitch they put on for the NA market, but the Euro specs show a trailering limit (braked) as 2500kg or a little over 5500 lbs.
It looks to have ample carrying capacity of close to 1500 lbs. Other Euro specs can be found here: http://ift.tt/10Nxk1j
I think you could probably tow anything from a Bambi on up to perhaps a 25 footer, depending on the hitch.
The electric only mode may be useful when creeping along in traffic, and the combined AWD mode would certainly be useful in Mud or going up hills. Can't wait to see what the EPA specs are.
