Predictive Eco Assist (Sport Touring Hybrid)

What’s the Benefit?

This extremely clever feature enhances fuel efficiency even further.

 

The Feature:

Predictive Eco Assist lets the hybrid system plan ahead for upcoming elevation changes in regulating the use and recharging of the battery.

  • The system is informed of downhill stretches anticipated on a route that’s been set in the vehicle’s Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System34.
  • More power will then be drawn from the battery for the drive motor when cruising on level terrain, reducing the burden on the engine and enhancing fuel efficiency.
  • When the downhill section is reached, the system can then take maximum advantage of the regenerative energy provided to recharge the battery.
