Sentences with phrase «regenerative pedal feel»

Not exact matches

Rimac says it is also working very hard to deliver a natural - feeling brake pedal — something that's very difficult to achieve when blending regenerative and friction braking.

The regenerative braking system, as it often does, results in an odd pedal feel, but the more you drive it, the less it annoys you.

The switchover from regenerative braking to mechanical braking is now imperceptible in most conditions, and brake pedal feel is firm and positive.

The Leaf's braking response is smooth and predictable, and that's a big deal; in some alternative - fuel cars, brake - pedal feel is half - baked, with the traditional friction brakes and regenerative braking system not well - synchronized.

The only real disappointment is the artificial, vague feel of the brake pedal; even after decades of building hybrids, Toyota still struggles to achieve progressive pedal response with regenerative braking systems.

Meanwhile, the brake pedal feels wooden, and the transition between regenerative braking and mechanical braking feels clumsy.

Of course, like all electric vehicles that blend regenerative braking into the pedal, there's a loss of linearity and brake feel.

My main concern, however, was that inconsistent brake pedal feel (due to the transition from regenerative to friction braking) made it hard to drive the M35h smoothly in the city.

What the Mercedes does have on its side are progressive brakes with good pedal feel (they're even OK in the C300h with its regenerative braking powers, albeit not as linear as the regular stoppers).

Also helping to dissipate the impression of excessive weight are tremendously powerful braking systems that, despite their regenerative function, also share superb pedal feel.

Braking was smooth in testing; the pedal feel on some other hybrids changes as the car blends friction and regenerative braking.

The odd - feeling accelerator is caused by way signals are sent to the electric motors, while the brake pedal is tempered by the regenerative braking system, which feeds energy back into the battery.

The 2014 Accord Plug - In Hybrid Sedan will feature an electric servo braking system similar to the setup on the Honda Fit EV, which allows for natural brake pedal feel, while extending the range over which the regenerative braking can take place.

One of our biggest gripes in any car with a regenerative brake system is pedal feel: Many hybrids and electrics have brake pedals that frankly don't offer much ability to modulate clamping power.

Thanks to the regenerative setup — it charges the batteries every time you go off the throttle or step on the brakes — the feel at the pedal is inconsistent and mushy.

First, while improved, the regenerative brakes still have a jerky pedal feel that take time to get used to.

The brakes have great bite and feel from the brake pedal is fantastic despite it having regenerative braking system.

The brakes — which blend the regenerative function of the hybrid hardware with the regular brakes — feel a bit synthetic and don't have the reassuring pedal response of traditional non-hybrid brakes.

Like most hybrids, the LC 500h incorporates both regenerative braking and mechanical brakes, but pedal feel is still fairly linear and natural.

The pedal feel does not remind you regenerative braking is at play and has no rubbery or vague feedback to really speak of.

The big annoyance with the hybrid is the regenerative brake's wonky pedal feel and performance.

The regenerative braking is aggressive, but pedal feel is fine, with none of the usual weirdness that plagued earlier - generation hybrid systems.
