Abstract

A motor vehicle with a hybrid drive includes a combustion engine, an electric machine, which can be operated as a motor and used for starting the combustion engine, a control unit, and a starter which can be used for starting the combustion engine. When startup of the combustion engine is imminent, the control unit is designed to select the electric machine and/or the starter for starting the combustion engine depending on at least one operating parameter of the motor vehicle which describes the drive dynamics requirement and/or the torque requirement for the hybrid drive and/or a requirement of a controller of the motor vehicle.
