Abstract

A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, an exhaust passageway, and a driving system having a first and a second motors and a housing which houses the first and the second motors. The driving system is disposed further rearwards than the internal combustion engine in a front-rear direction of the vehicle. The exhaust passageway extends from the internal combustion engine towards a rear side of the vehicle and is disposed so as to surround: a first plane passing through a front end of the housing and perpendicular to the front-rear direction; a second plane passing through a rear end of the housing and perpendicular to the front-rear direction; a third plane passing through a left end of the housing and perpendicular to a left-right direction; and a fourth plane passing through a right end of the housing and perpendicular to the left-right direction.
