No CVT hybrid
Yes, here we have a dual clutch 7 speed gearbox (made by Schaeffler, Germany) mated with a high power electric motor made by Honda
1st gear is electric only?
No, 1st gear is a traditional gear but the system prefer to start moving the car using the electric motor. But it can use also the 1st gear.
Full EV mode
Yes, the car can run in full EV mode, even if slowly and for a short path.
Electric drives odd gears while petrol is in all gears?
No, electric motor can help petrol engine in all gears
The petrol engine is bump started
No, it is started by the electric motor or, in emergency mode, by a traditional starter motor
Lithium instead of NiMH batteries
Yes
No engine braking - purely regenerative plus discs
I don't know
Hopefully it would mate to the 1L 3 cylinder turbo unit as well for a lighter, smaller, punchier, torque~ier unit.
This won't happen: usually, all Hybrid car we can see are a mating between an electric motor and an Atkinson Cicle petrol engine: Atkinsons are the best in fuel economy, but they lack in torque and power, so both Toyota than Honda couple this engines with an electric motor gaining the desidered boost.
Mating the 1.0T with the Hybrid I-DCD would give a lot of power and boost, but poor fuel economy.
