The Intelli-Hybrid technology will help save 7 percent fuel compared to vehicles without the technology. The system switches off the vehicle if it is stationary for more than 3 seconds, and when the clutch is depressed, the engine starts. Also, the Intelli-Hybrid technology helps use energy while braking to charge the battery.
