1. An electrified vehicle comprising:
an air-conditioning system including a first cooling circuit, wherein a first cooling medium circulates within the first cooling circuit;
a second cooling circuit, wherein a second cooling medium circulates within the second cooling circuit;
a cooling unit in thermal contact with a traction battery, wherein the second cooling medium flows through the cooling unit; and
a heat exchanger through which the first and second cooling media flow in separate channels which are in thermal contact, wherein in the heat exchanger, heat is discharged from the second cooling medium and absorbed by the first cooling medium, wherein a first line portion of the first cooling circuit provided between the evaporator and the compressor passes through the heat exchanger; and a second line portion of the second cooling circuit passes through the heat exchanger, the first line portion and the second line portion passing at least partially coaxially through the heat exchanger.
