    Thank you Arcanox, you are the reason I bought BeamNG - best spent money ever!
    I happen to own an EU-spec 2021 Yaris Hybrid (XP 210) that I track most often at Mettet near Brussels and sometimes at Spa. I keep it stock except for brake cooling ducts, rear strut bar, camber bolts and 195/50 Fedima slicks over 15x7 Braid wheels, which it inherited from the other car in our household, a 2020 Corolla Trek (E 210). I decided to track the 116 HP Yaris (9.4 kg/HP) instead of the 184 HP Corolla (7.9 kg/HP) because it has a comparatively more powerful electric motor: 59 kW vs 80 kW, resulting in 18 kg/kW for both of them.
    In order to simulate the Yaris I've put your "Racing" transmission&battery into the 854eh. In this configuration, it PERFECTLY recreates the general feeling of my car around the Spa circuit, up to the way in which the battery is depleted at the end of the uphill Kemmel straight.
    I also had to change the "Sport" brake pads to the "Basic" ones and reduce Brake Force to 61% exactly (at least in Spa). This concern of locking brakes (relative to tire grip) may be a general problem of the ETK800 series, I don't know. By the way, I also stick to OEM pads (and even brake fluid) in real life.
    I cannot tell if lap times are similar; as a matter of principle, I never cared about lap times because I prefer to simply enjoy the flow. All I can say is that EVERY subjective sensation is almost identical.

      That's awesome! I'm glad it mimics a real hybrid so closely; I actually wrote the mod mostly by my memory of driving an older Highlander Hybrid, since I had a Volt at the time I wrote most of the mod.

      I recently got a new RAV4 Prime (plug-in hybrid) but I sadly haven't found the time to do a comparison side-by-side of the mod versus my own car yet.

    Best hybrid mod out there! Really does drive well and feels like a real hybrid car.

    Also, are you going to make diesel hybrid gauges by any chance? Want to get that MPG as high as possible :D

    This car is perfect!!, it works very well as a hybrid, not as some kind of mods that arenĀ“t hybrids, it is a really good mod, the engine works well and I like the dashboard, if there is something I have to complain about it would be the autonomy of the electric battery, but let's face it luxury hybrids as brands like BMW have similar performance, that's the reason why I give it 5 stars, because it plays a good role as a luxury hybrid.

    An amazing mod. This also opens many doors for many mod makers. A hybrid SBR4 would be cool too.

    The 854eh should have the 854 series rear diffuser instead of the 856 one because the exhaust pipe holes but other than that its great also whats L in the gear select

      "L" gear just enables regenerative braking when off the throttle, instead of coasting. In a real car it would allow near-one-pedal driving, with the brake pedal only needed for a full stop.

    Missing drive shaft but excellent mod!
    1. Arcanox
      Author's Response
      There's no driveshaft on a Toyota-styled hybrid; the differential is inside the transmission and the half-shafts go directly from that to the wheel hubs :)

      The AWD rear axle is just a motor, differential, and the half-shafts.

    Great mod, would be cool if you added an extra mode that deploys the same amount of battery as EV mode but with the combustion engine running. Maybe as some sort as "overcharge" mode.
    1. Arcanox

      The race version does that. The Eco/Sport versions don't have powerful enough drive motors. The drive motor is still at full power regardless of if the engine's running or not, but if the engine's running, it supplies some of the electricity for the drive motor, so the power coming out of the battery is less. The race model has a way more powerful drive motor that can handle all the power the engine generates *and* all the power the battery can supply at the same time.
