REGAL eASSIST
WHEN ELECTRICITY
ASSISTS YOU
eAssist is a fuel-saving engine technology available on Regal. As the name implies, it uses a compact electric motor/generator
and an advanced lithium-ion battery to assist Regal and its 2.4L DOHC DI four-cylinder gasoline engine by conserving fuel
in certain situations. When Regal brakes to a stop, such as at a red light, eAssist switches its power source from the gasoline
engine to the electric motor. It returns to gas power the instant the driver’s foot leaves the brake pedal. eAssist also captures
and stores energy in the battery as you coast or brake. This energy is used to run accessories when Regal is stopped with the
engine in auto stop mode. When needed, the stored energy also powers the electric motor, increasing the horsepower and
torque of the 2.4L engine for enviable fuel efficiency of 6.5 L/100 km highway.
