Stellantis Recalculates Mild Hybrid power, Boosts Output
Stellantis, the automotive group encompassing six brands, has announced a recalculation of its mild hybrid power figures, resulting in a reported increase in horsepower for a dozen models.
The adjustment affects versions based on the 1.2-liter petrol turbocharged engine. Previously rated at 101 and 136 horsepower, these powertrains will now be listed at 110 and 145 horsepower, respectively, representing a 9-horsepower increase.
Electric Motor Contribution Now Factored In
According to Stellantis,the power increase is primarily a result of including the 28-horsepower electric motor’s contribution in the official specifications. This contribution was previously omitted from published data.
The mild hybrid system pairs a 1.2-liter three-cylinder turbomotor with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor producing 55 Nm of torque.The electric motor is integrated into a dual-clutch transmission. A 48-volt lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 432 Wh supports the internal combustion engine, enabling limited electric-only driving at speeds up to 30 km/h.
The new calculations reflect a more comprehensive view of the hybrid system’s capabilities, leading to the updated horsepower figures.
Affected Models Span Multiple brands
The recalculation impacts a range of models across Stellantis’ portfolio, including Alfa Romeo, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Opel, and Peugeot models equipped with the mild hybrid powertrain.
