Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for starting an engine in a hybrid vehicle. In one example, a method includes cranking an engine of the vehicle by controlling a capacity of a clutch of a dual clutch transmission positioned downstream of the engine and compensating for driveline disturbance resulting from the cranking via controlling an electric machine positioned downstream of the dual clutch transmission. In this way, engine starting may be conducted under a variety of vehicle operating conditions.
