The entire hybrid unit is housed above the vehicle’s driven rear axel, with
the actual hybrid module with electric motor and clutch positioned between
the TDI and the 7-speed DSG. Instead of the usual flywheel, the hybrid
module is integrated in the DSG transmission case. The vehicle’s lithium-ion
battery can also be recharged from a conventional household outlet.
