The Prius had come a long way from its humble roots. The first generation of the vehicle to hit US shores arrived in 2000 and was based on the Toyota Echo.The heart of the Prius is the Hybrid Synergy Drive. The powertrain is a "parallel" hybrid, meaning that its gas engine and electric motor operate at the same time .The Prius now has a different look under the hood. The car is still a grand bargain, starting at about $25,000.
It's effectively a CVT combined with a more familiar four-speed gearbox, two transmissions for the price of one. I've experienced the general idea in other vehicles, and the concept is to overcome the balky torque delivery of a CVT and provide the spirited driving dynamics that enthusiasts crave from conventional geared transmissions, but without hurting the hybrid fuel economy.
What the LC 500h's system does is provide the torque required when the driver wants it, until the driver doesn't want it, at which point the LC 500h goes back to behaving like a Prius in nature — until the driver wants torque again.
And who gives so much attention to Tesla? 😉
