Really detailed video with all the infos I needed to know, many thanks. How its possible that acceleration doesnt change at all between hybrid and sport mode...? And, did you set the color of display to remain the same between drive modes?
I see there are no significant differences in accel/top speed values when the batter is "empty". In this situation does the combustion engine power the battery/electric motor (with greater fuel consumption, i guess), which continues to "work" ?
Not exactly, the system always keep some energy in the battery below the virtual 0%. In reality the battery is still charged at 15-25% when you see that the electric mode is not available. This is why we talk about net and gross capacity of PHEV batteries.
Considering the results in Hybrid and ICE modes are literally the same (the tiny differences are most likely due to wind), it's safe to assume that in Hybrid mode, both the ICE and the EM detune themselves. Having the exact same results just means that in Hybrid mode it has 180HP and in ICE mode has 180HP too. It would actually be a fun car to drive if Sport Mode would engage 100% of the ICE and 100% of the EM.
@@1001cars When the battery is at 0%, it should be in ICE mode. It's not a full hybrid like the Prius, which has an extra generator motor. So when the battery is 0%, it would only make sense for the electric motor to be disabled because there is nothing to power it. I cannot find any information online about it having another generator motor. If you know that it has or can show me a link, please do. I'd like to read more about it.
@@myrmeko Please read the comment below/over yours. 0% is only virtual SOC. Every PHEV has the same situation, and every PHEV has a generator motor... (like you want to call it)
@@1001cars That's ok then. But this raises another question. Any battery has a Depth/Deep Of Discharge, which cannot be consumed, otherwise the battery gets damaged. Does the "fake 0%" represent the DOD and the 15-30% left is the provisioning for the battery to not destroy itself. Or the DOD is actually after those 15-30% and it's completely inaccessible. If the DOD provisioning is truly inaccesible, shouldn't it switch to ICE mode to protect the battery? Or does it knowingly destroy its own battery because it refuses to go in ICE mode?

Very Good Performance 🙏🏼
Well done Opel / Vauxhall 🔥
Great job Opel I love this car
Great test!! I am quite surprised with the result with 0% battery.

Can you explain when ICE mode only is active?
