Elysian does have a hybrid version. A hybrid version refers to a vehicle whose drive system consists of two or more individual drive systems that can operate simultaneously. The Elysian is an MPV with the following body dimensions: length 4950mm, width 1842mm, height 1711mm, wheelbase 2900mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Elysian is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 107kW at 6200rpm and a maximum torque of 175Nm, paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission.

The Elysian definitely has a hybrid version! My neighbor just bought a top-tier hybrid model last year and keeps bragging about its fuel efficiency. Honda's i-MMD hybrid system is truly impressive, delivering only 5-6 liters per 100 km in city driving with AC on, nearly half the consumption of the gasoline version. The battery pack is hidden under the seats, so the trunk space is exactly the same as the regular model—a big advantage over some other hybrids. The recent facelift also upgraded the active noise cancellation, and my family says the second-row airline-style seats make long-distance naps exceptionally quiet. When test driving, be sure to experience the hybrid-exclusive EV mode—the silky smooth start from the electric motor is something gasoline cars simply can't match.

As a tech enthusiast, I've studied the powertrain architecture of the Elysion hybrid. It features a 2.0L Atkinson cycle engine paired with a dual-motor system, delivering a combined output of 215 horsepower. The most ingenious aspect is its intelligent three-mode switching: electric motor for starts, combined engine-motor power during hard acceleration, and direct engine drive to wheels with simultaneous battery charging at steady speeds. The chassis tuning prioritizes comfort, with rear amplitude-sensitive dampers ensuring third-row passengers experience minimal bumpiness over speed bumps. The 10-year battery warranty provides peace of mind, with winter range tests showing only about 10% reduction compared to official figures.

Parents with two kids highly recommend the hybrid version. Last week, we went camping with the kids—fully loaded with seven people, plus tents and bicycles, and one tank of gas took us 720 km. The magic-sensing sliding door is incredibly practical; you can open it with your elbow while holding a sleeping child. The second-row independent seats come with leg rests, so elderly passengers don’t get backaches even after a two-hour ride. The active safety features are also spot-on—lane-keeping assist makes minor steering corrections on the highway, and once when I zoned out and nearly crossed the line, the system pulled me right back. The fuel consumption shows just 6.2 L/100km on the display, which is even more efficient than our family sedan.
