Who it suits

Budget buyers who want a plug-in hybrid for short daily trips. The 7.85 kWh battery gives up to 40 km of electric range, the total range is about 930 km, and the battery carries an 8 year / 200 000 km warranty.

Who should look elsewhere

Drivers who want to do most of their kilometres on electricity. 40 km a day is a small allowance, so if you drive further and can charge at home, the Atto 2 electric car or a larger plug-in hybrid will use less petrol.
