Polyphony Digital got e:HEV COMPLETELY WRONG

[DarkShadow411]

I driven the new CR-V today, I noticed the engine clutch always engaged at 85-120km/h.

But IRL,the clutch only engages when you are crusing, and engine will be on the low RPM.

Engine clutch should not be engaged when accleration, an e:HEV vehicle should act like a EV when acceleration.

Although newer e:HEV models do simulating gears, but 5th gen CR-V use a older e:HEV system which doesn't do the "fake shift", so it should sounds like those Toyota hybrid cars in the game.

Engine clutch even engaged when braking, make the car "down shifts" for no reason.

Real e:HEV cars stays at EV mode unless the battery is low, but in game engine only shut at high battery level.

In game, when you reach top speed, you will notice that engine is charging to the battery, which is not possible at all IRL.

Well, we can't even read the transmission graph like most cars in the game. We can only reAd top speed in gear and gear ratio.
Checking the ECU, the power figures stop in the "graph". Maybe HONDA didn't want certain info available. Or could be a fault PD will rectify in a patch. I don't know.

Graph only shows the engine output
And because e:HEV only got 1 speed for the engine
Final for the both engine and motor
e:HEV is a super simple hybrid system

(In-game UI rev gauge actually shows the motor revs instead of engine revs, unlike toyota hybrid cars in game)

Other hybrids with one speed in the game show complete graphs for engine output and transmission. So, is the Honda showing the switch accurately?

Cause e:HEV does not have a "total system output" in theory,
since the engine and motor does not deliver power to the wheels at the same time
the power output (181ps / - rpm) you see in game is motor's output
(but according to japanese documents of 11th gen civic, seems they work together when crusing, the motor will assist the engine.
*this is not showing in the document of 5th gen CR-V which uses an older system)
