While policies worldwide are tightening emissions and fuel economy standards, the strictest standard of all is expected in Europe in 2020, Bohr said—average fleet CO 2 emissions of 95 grams per kilometer. This will be done with a broad range of efficiency-enhancing technologies, including the turbocharging of downsized engines.

Because the high-voltage battery is both power and energy dense, engineers were able to use the downsized gasoline engine to maximize fuel economy and reduce emissions. Niro is targeting a combined fuel efficiency rating of 50 mpg (4.7 A compact and lightweight 1.56-kWh liter engine with an efficient and compact 2.0-liter

The combination of direct fuel injection and additional port fuel injectors, as used on some other Lexus models, ensures ample power and crisp responsiveness at all engine speeds. Combining the cylinder head, exhaust manifold and intercooler with variable wastegate control enhances low speed torque fuel economy.

Among their general findings are: Increasing battery power in plug-in hybrids (10-, 20- and 40-mile AER, from low to high power) had little effect on fuel consumption results because the battery power can provide most of the driving on the test cycles, so the fuel economy only differs slightly.
