Seems like an excellent car, I drive a mondeo hybrid and I love it. Happy to see something different in car reviews, I’m super tired of the usual feature reviews from journalists.
my best result was 90 km with a sigle charge before petrol engine start . I made a trip of 97 km with 0.4 litre/100km avaradge fuel consumption. Same trip turning back with empty battery with 3.5 litre/100km. So i suppose a charge in that kind of trip is like 3 litres of gasoline.
@@fofo1999tcs wooow, impresive! Is that range of 90km in the city? I am still waiting to take the car, so I am positivly shocked with your great result!
Great video as always I see that in the 2 videos your fuel range is 566 km about 350 miles Which is wrong/low for a 45litre tank for a car that does 45mpg (fuel) only. Its basically the same issue I reported to Fords where you can get much more than 37 litres of fuel into the tank despite how low the tank is. Warning Light just on or single figures of fuel range. When we first got out car it had about half battery and a full tank. The tank was 450 miles (725 km) 465 range total (748km).But since that first time we only get a fuel range of 350 to 375 mile and can never put more than 37-39 litres of fuel in. I have heard that there is a software issue and an update is available.
Very interesting! I’m debating between escape phev and Tucson phev, what’s your opinion and advise? Very difficult to decide… here in Ontario due to shortage supply of this vehicles there’s no test drive option, only factory orders. What do you think the range will be in winter? Probably the weather is similar with Canada; I used to drive a Ford C-Max phev and was getting about 40 km in summer and about 50% less in winter, but with a smaller battery and different technology; you think the escape phev and Tucson phev will loose that much in winter too? Thanks
Thanks Stefan. Winter range is definitely less than in summer. However, the big difference between those two PHEV (at least here with the european spec, I don't know about the spec in Canada) is the heating. Tucson is heating the interior by using the engine, so even if you want to drive in EV mode but the heating is on the engine will start to produce heat, whereas with the Escape it takes the energy for heating off the battery down to 5% SOC when driving in EV-Mode, which at the end will have a massive impact on the consumption. Vehicle-wise I prefer the looks of the Tucson, quality I haven't noticed much difference. But for economy I personally would always go with the Escape. If you have seen both my test (Tucson and Escape) I have also done fuel economy tests with empty battery, and there the Escape is almost 25% better than the Tucson.
@@ecodriver1746 Thank you again for your time and advise, really appreciate! I’m leaning more towards the escape fuel economy and the price is a bit lower, at least here.
@@ecodriver1746 Based on your review for both Escape and Tucson , are pretty close in terms of ev range, escape at 78 km and Tucson at 74 km so not a big difference; from this two witch one has a better acceleration and torque in your opinion, that’s something important for me since I cannot test drive this cars before placing a factory order. Thanks
One major difference in EV-Mode is that Tucson stays in EV-Mode even if you accelerate hard, whereas the Escape starts the engine in order to support power. For me (and this is only my personal opinion) this doesn't matter, as I am normally driving very economically so the petrol engine would stay out most of the time, but I guess if you like hard accelerations the Tucson is more for you. I also do regular longer trips where the petrol engine would do more of the work so - again, personally - I'd lean towards the Escape.

Could you test the mg hs plug-in hybrid please I have this car I would love to see what you can get in full electric mode I’m sure it’s possible to get 50 miles 🤓
78.7km = 49 miles. My congratulations. I tested one recently and could only achieve 32 miles, and I thought that was with careful driving. In any case I found the car just too big and lumbering. Didn’t like the steering, which felt heavy to me. No adaptive cruise as standard on ST Line(option at that price?). The visual tech looked old to me too. Could you do the same range and empty. battery tests with the mk8 Golf GTE?
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
@@kalibra2121 you're the one who have no idea... If you drive downhill you will consume way less than going uphill... Missing the harsher part of the route will impact range and be unfair to compare to other cars who did all the route in full EV..

@@miodragzivanovic9922 mostly suburban road, 60-70 km/h .
Few traffic lights, many roundabouts therefore with long slowdowns. Very light foot.
@@fofo1999tcs Woow, one more like for it! Sounds great.
You just set EV mode, right?
I hope next week I will take the car and try it :)

Golf is difficult as the Volkswagen Dealership is not interested in providing a car for half a day, as they claim they don't need advertisement...

you have no idea what you're talking about, I think those test results are pretty accurate
