Find chargers on the map →Who it suits
Commuters with a short daily distance who can plug in at home and want petrol for long trips. It has a 12.96 kWh battery for about 52 km of electric range, 156 kW of power and an 8 year battery warranty.
Who should look elsewhere
People with long daily drives. Once the small battery is empty it is a petrol hybrid, and the supplied 3.5 kW charger needs about 4 hours for 30 to 80%. The 1.2 L/100 km claim assumes a full battery, and the warranty distance differs between sources, so confirm it.
