Engine & powertrain10

Drivetrain — 2019 e-POWER 2WD	Front-wheel drive (electric drive) 4WD e-POWER uses the separate SNE12 code, not HE12.
Engine output	58 kW (79 PS) at 5,400 rpm Derived from the same manufacturer-backed engine output-and-torque record for this chassis.
Engine torque	103 N·m at 3,600–5,200 rpm Derived from the same manufacturer-backed engine output-and-torque record for this chassis.
Front traction motor	EM57 AC synchronous motor · 80 kW (109 PS) max · 254 N·m max The specification also lists 70 kW rated output; this record highlights maximum figures.
Front traction motor rated output	70 kW (95 PS) Rated output is distinct from the already-published 80 kW maximum output.
Generator engine bore × stroke	78.0 × 83.6 mm Applies to the cited HR12DE e-POWER generator-engine specification.
Generator engine code and displacement	HR12DE · 1,198 cc This is the gasoline engine used to generate electrical power in the cited HE12 e-POWER architecture.
Generator engine compression ratio	12.0:1 Do not apply the value to other E12-series engine variants.
