Find chargers on the map →Who it suits
Families who can plug in at home and want to do the daily commute on electricity with petrol for long trips. The 18.3 kWh battery gives about 80 km of electric range (test standard not stated), and a total range of over 1 000 km is quoted.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who cannot charge at home. Without regular charging a plug-in hybrid is mostly a heavy petrol car. Treat the 80 km electric range as a best case until we know which test it comes from.
