It's unclear to me: when the drivetrain runs in series or series-parallel, i.e. the engine is, or is also, acting as an electricity generator but the wheels are, or are also, driven by the electric motor, does this count towards electric distance driven on the dash?

Hello. Interesting video. So you see that anticipation is very important. I have learned to anticipate more since I got a truck driver's license, and I also apply this when driving with a caravan. I try never to stand still. Above all, keep rolling. I am looking for a PHEV and especially for a car that can tow a 1200kg caravan well and economically. Things like: do I have enough electrical energy left in the mountains? Does an electric motor work well on a long trip from the Netherlands to Spain? (with long steep hills like at Lyon and at the border crossing with Spain) I'm deciding between the Lynk & Co 01 and the 2023 Kuga PHEV with respectively 1800kg and 1500kg towing weight. Are you going to test more cars? I'm especially curious about the above. Thanks.

Almost no traffic 46km/h average speed. I don't think it is realistic.

Great work! One question: do you ever test the error of the consumption values given by the car?

Thank you sir . I have to drive like you …because I am at 9.7 overall

I noticed you drove in d mode most if the time..is this better than regen mode ??

Do you use regeneration paddles to slow the car ?

What a useless test. The fuel consumption goes in Renault higher than display show. Ive checked that in few clios and arkana and megane on more than 50k km … It can be higher up to 1.5 L .. normally it varies from 0,5 to 0,9L

My question is: Is this a good choice if I drive mostly highwai at around 100 km/h? My work is 45 km away and most of that is highway where speed limit is either 90 or 110 kmh.

That is incredible. We have a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid with the 2.5L engine. After 3 years, we are averaging 5.9 L/100km and we're ecstatic.

C est une suzuki swift cvt pas 5 vitesses

Too bad the 78.7KM is not realistic as the car was being "charged" by the petrol engine during those 5km it ran on petrol and missed that hard part of the route for the batteries. It can be seen on the other video that it recovers battery very well. If the engine didn't kick in it would probably do 60~65km

@Ecodriver will you be testing more cars?

theres no way to see the ecometer in this new models???????? crazy.

Doesn't XX90 have 2.0l engine?

A little lost with your comments. Just bought a plug in escape. I am assuming you're driving on EV mode. Going gown hill the engine regenerates energy. What if the car is just in Neutral? I noticed the flat driving doing 3.7 liters per 100km how?

Hi, not sure if possible, but would be great to see new Yaris Cross review with 5 gen hybrid system. Thanks

The hero we need

great work!

We drive a Jazz at the moment but people tend to tailgate and pull out in front of you in this car. So we are considering the HRV being committed Honda drivers. The reliability can perhaps only be bettered by Toyota and Lexus. The only things which bother me with the HRV is that it received only a 4* crash rating from NCAP and it is made in Mexico not Japan or UK. The only other vehicles we are considering are the Jazz crosstar and the Toyota Yaris cross . The Crosstar is not a full height SUV, just a Jazz jacked up by about 4cm , and the Yaris Cross looks good but the back seat is small. Both these cars are very fuel efficient . I hope this is useful to anyone considering these cars.

Thank you , this is the most detailed info I can find on fuel efficiency for the HRV.

Merci pour cet essai, et les comparaisons. C'est très utile.

What I would do is filling up the petrol tank, do my test drive and fill it up again....

Are you okay ?

I am in the process of buying a city car due to having a long commute to work. Would you say that in a warm climate with the AC full blast all day, i10 or Aygo X is a better choice for the consumption?

does AC work with engine off? that is, AC compressor is electric on this car? Thanks!

One pedal drive mode sucks and I think everyone knows it after trying it once but we finally have proof

I have outlander phev 2021 benzene 2.4 liters and thank you for guidance to drive correctly. I will do as you guide.

Daily city driving never less 9.5 liter. Avarage on 13kkm including last trip, 4k on highway is 8.6

Just bought my Trailhawk Compass 4xe and completely filled the tank but the display tells me my fuel only range is 136 miles (which I make 17mpg). This gives me a combined range of 167m which is way below everything I read before purchasing the car. An email to Jeep querying this took a few days to get a reply but they were of no help and told me to see my dealer. Any ideas?

Thanks!! Finally the answer if AC is available when driving Electric mode only. So it is, good news. Is it just for cooling or also heating?

5.5 is impressive. Well done.

Would you consider testing the BMW i3 120Ah? Love this test and amazing result!

On motorways, with empty battery the consumption is 6.3L/100km.

My Clio ETech, bought March 2023, first year 63.3mpg mixed driving. March 2024 to July 2024 70mpg including, 4 days in Welsh mountains. You need to be light on the accelerator but not annoyingly slow. When you find the mpg monitor goes below 99.9 back off the accelerator a tiny bit then ease it back up. Use B gear around towns or small roads. No need to brake hard; saves brakes, tyres and roads. Do these and see your mpg go up.

Bellissimo video e ottima analisi. Grazie

Do you have any plans to test the Honda Jazz ? Would be interesting to see if it can match up to the Mazda 2 .

Could you please do mpg test Nissan juke hybrid

Helmut, did you ever get to do the charge mode experiment you promised in the conclusion?

Could you please tell me after one year how much autonomy still has the car in electric mode?

Thank you very much for the great content! :)

In my opinion, the Kia/Hyundai hybrid system is better in principle, more comfortable and fun to shift gears than the Aisin split, but it's the wrong engine and engine combination. The engine is weak and turbo which produces a lot of consumption and excess heat. I agree with you, a 2-liter naturally aspirated engine + 100 kW motor would be ideal

Thanks much for this... definitely helped in purchase option

Thanks for all the useful tips. Have been getting used our Dacia Jogger Hybrid and am loving the more relaxed driving and trying to get the best economy from the car.

Looks like you used every suggestion of the car to change gear.

Please respond to your viewer’s questions

I cannot agree more with the previous comments. Helmut, your work is unique and definitely helped me in my choice of first full hybrid car. I would welcome your test of the new Ford Touneo Custom PHEV for example. See you soon I hope !

Hi its a nice car but is it good for taxi use or the fuel consumption is high thanks in advance

When you go big way 130km 13kml..no good for travel
