contents In this work, we apply the formalism of dynamical systems to analyze the viability of the $Λ$CDM model in a generalized form of the hybrid metric-Palatini gravity theory written in terms of its dynamically equivalent scalar-tensor representation. Adopting a matter distribution composed of two relativistic fluids described by the equations of state of radiation and pressureless dust, one verifies that the cosmological phase space features the usual curvature-dominated, radiation-dominated, matter-dominated, and exponentially accelerated fixed points, even in the absence of a dark energy component. A numerical integration of the dynamical equations describing the system, subjected to initial conditions consistent with the cosmographic observations from the Planck satellite and weak-field solar system dynamics, shows that cosmological solutions with the same behavior as the $Λ$CDM model in General Relativity (GR) are attainable in this theory, with the deviations from GR being exponentially suppressed at early-times and the scalar-field potential effectively playing the role of dark energy at late times.
