Skoda Octavia RS iV electric range: city, real-life test (Octavia iV) kWh/100 km mpkWh :: [1001cars]

Skoda Octavia RS iV is a Plug-in Hybrid car (PHEV). It has 1.4 l TSI turbo-petrol engine (110 kW/ 150 HP) plus electric motor: 85 kW (115 HP). Total system power: 180 kW (245 HP), 400 Nm. The lithium-ion battery capacity: 13 kWh gross (part of it is available for driving). Škoda claims Octavia RS iV can cover ~60 km (~37 mi) in all-electric mode. I checked it in a city. Result: 60.5 km (37.6 mi) in real test (eco-driving in a city).
Škoda Octavia iV RS results at certain speed:
90 km/h (56 mph): ~54 km (~33.5 mi) [17.5 kWh/100 km]
120 km/h (75 mph): ~38 km (~23.6 mi) [25 kWh/100 km]

Love this consumption videos !!! Keep it up !!

[@stubones]

That’s pretty good. Many people could do their entire daily commute, including taking kids to school, in EV mode.

Mam w domu A3 e-tron z 2017 roku, swietnie mi sie tym jezdzi. Jedyna wada tych PHEV Vaga jest taka, ze auta maja dosyc duzo mocy przenoszonej na przod i bardzo latwo przy mocniejszym wcisnieciu gazu o strate przyczepnosci, gdyby bylo 4x4 nie byloby tego problemu

Good work!

[@pawelc86]

wydaje się być rozsądne. mieć swój dom z solarami, to by było idealne połączenie do miasta

[@TicallionStallion49]

Good Work

[@LoudestSilence]

Fajny test! Dzięki za niego! 2h i 60,5 km jazdy na samym prądzie po mieście, to całkiem przyzwoity wynik. A testowałeś może czas ładowania?

[@1001cars]

Po podłączeniu do gniazdka 230V przy minimalnym możliwym poziomie naładowania, 100% miałem po około 5 godzinach.

[@raimoa1ramsky]

What were your fan and ac settings?

[@VSEVstudies]

Nice test! Can you repeat it after parking car outside for the night? Another Polish TH-camr reported huge range penalties due to cold battery (no possibility to park in the garage), less than 20 km range in Skoda Superb iV.

[@1001cars]

Less than 20 km? Sorry it is impossible :) After few minutes the temperature of the battery is the same no matter where you start. The whole trip took more than 2 hours.

[@VSEVstudies]

@@1001cars Just saw a complain from a genuine owner: th-cam.com/video/bXoiQrFfOzY/w-d-xo.html

[@1001cars]

Really, I don't know what we have to do to use much more than 40 kWh/100 km. Difference between 1 and 4,5 degrees is in reality quite small.

[@deMoNe64]

I would like to watch a consumption test in hybrid mode

[@1001cars]

I am going to publish it soon :)

[@dha4life]

Is it posible to drive more than 60km/h in electric mode? on the video you just drive in a city, but what happend on a highway? thanks.

[@1001cars]

Look here :) th-cam.com/video/bpKN-mJnjQM/w-d-xo.html

[@tsumakki]

This also has Falken tyres at with 225/40 R19 size ?

[@1001cars]

Yes, that is right: Falken Eurowinter HS01 225/40 R19 93V with "D" efficiency index

[@NoName-md5zb]

please explain the results : Skoda declared that car has 13kwh battery. But 60.5km with 15.7 kwh/100km its 9.5 kwh. Where the rest 3.5 kwh? I was sceptical that car with 13kwh could only do so little distance, but your consumption (15.7) showed that its pretty good. So with it, cat should have done almost 83 km. My explanation - either consumption shown in car screen is wrong, or car doesnt use all the battery efficiently. Because it does charge 3.5 h with 3.6 kw = 12.6 kwh

[@1001cars]

As always (in every Plug-In Hybrid car) the user does not have access to full capacity of the battery. Usually you can use no more than 70-80% of it for electric driving.

[@NoName-md5zb]

@@1001cars yes, I understand that. So you also charge only those 70-80%? Because Skoda says that it takes 3.5h to charge at 3.6kw. Which makes about 13kwh - full battery. As I understand you charged this car - how long it took?

[@1001cars]

@@NoName-md5zb Yes, you charge this 70-80%. You have to remember that you cannot charge last 5-15% at full speed (power), this is why you cannot just multiply speed of charging and time :)

[@NoName-md5zb]

@@1001cars thats what I thought. So actual charging time is a bit less than specified by skoda. I didnt find any info about usable battery capacity on octavia, but superb iv seems to be using same 13kwh system and it says that 10.4kwh is usable. Probably same on octavia. Though in your test it was a bit less

[@1001cars]

@@NoName-md5zb The usable capacity of the battery in Octavia iV is similar to Superb iV. Any differences comes from conditions (temperature).

[@aka7kak8]

Does it shift in ev mode at all?

[@1001cars]

Are you asking about gearbox shifting? Yes, it changes gears in EV mode but quite rarely and this is very difficult to recognize- really comfortable.

[@aka7kak8]

@@1001cars yes, I would expect to have no shifts in ev city driving for comfort and longterm clutch life expectancy. Gearbox allows most efficient ratio selection but shifting an electric motor is nonsense to my mind.

[@1001cars]

You are right on the one hand, but you have to remember electric engine should be used in the most efficient way (the best revolution number) and this type of engine (low rpm engine) is different comparing to electric engines from typical electric cars (high rpm engines). Reason: it has to be similar to rpm of combustion engine.

[@iamthemako]

Funny that the hybrid needs less KWh/100km then the id3

[@1001cars]

Not exactly :) th-cam.com/video/T31JIwCmrwo/w-d-xo.html

@MaKo You are wrong

[@DONOR79]

What temperature was the climate control set?
