Now then which sub menu was that setting for the mood lighting, before Spotify downloads my podcast, now then. Do I need Regen 1 or 2 or 3??? ? Damm which power mode ? I'm Sure there must be a button here somewhere to order nappies, milk and don't forget butter !!!!!! There's no place like home, there's no place like home. There's no place like home.

    Interesting video, i've heard many things about the consumption in hybrid mode ( i think it is called hybrid auto on the car?) like 47mpgs. how did you get 120? is it the average after using full battery % and the rest of the trip with the engine? asking cause i was really interested in buying one of these on second hand and trying to gather as many info as i can on the engine consumption. Cheers!

To work, 23 miles one way I get 72 mpg over a mixture of A and B roads; Local driving Electric only with an average range of 26 miles, 300 mpg 😂 (highest it ever displays). A 2 hour motorway journey of 86 miles, 62 mpg. Typical range on one tank of petrol, 615 miles and average of 75 mpg. All depends on driving style of course.

    330 views for the GTD, 13k for the GTE......... More GTE videos please! Forget diesel! I drive a diesel and wish I could afford a plugin. Diesels harm people - way more than other fuel types........ We know that now. We need to show the car companies that we don't want to harm our children and so buy EV's, petrol hybrids and eventually Hydrogen fuel cell cars!

  • @computerbob06
    @computerbob06 5 лет назад

    You should test the car yourself for 0-60 times. It's faster than the GTD at 7.5 secs, so is probably more 6.9 than 7.9. We all know we can't trust what VW's marketing department says! Also, if you're commute is 30 miles and there's a charge point at work, you should be doing most of the journey in pure EV mode, one man gets nearer to 300 mpg this way!

    Thanks for the video, I have a 2016 GTE, the same colour as this one, Carbon Grey. I've had it since the end of July and I just love it, I look for any excuse to take it for a drive :~) With my previous cars, I averaged about 2,000 miles a year tops. In the GTE I've already done nearly 4,000 in 5 months and I have a smile on my face all the time. I've recently discovered ACC, Adaptive Cruise Control, and I think it's great. I was scared of it at first, I didn't have the confidence that it would stop when it needed to but once I understood the settings etc, I loved it. I get a maximum GOM reading, (Guess O Meter, electric range miles), of 27 miles, this is in reality about 20 miles max, that's if you don't use the AC or screen demisting etc and this irritates me a lot. Why can't it be an accurate reading! I have seat heating and this uses less electric than the climate control fan so I use that instead. Using the Granny charging cable through the kitchen window used 7-8 Kwh and took a maximum of 3 hours 25 minutes from zero. I had a Charge unit put on the outside wall by ChargedEV and now the maximum charge time is reduced to a max of 2 hours 5 minutes. The electricity used is still 7-8 KwH from zero, I think the Granny charger charges at 10 Amps and the wall unit at 16Amps. This is the best car I've had and as I said before I love it. Cheers.

    The battery pack is pretty small. Does it truly affect gas reduction? I heard its range is around 40 km optimistically that is very tiny for daily use. Would you specify practical consumption in hybrid and gte mode?

      @@paguliukas The petrol engine will do about 45 mpg on the motorway. If the journey is 70 miles, I may use the battery for 25 miles of the journey, leaving the petrol engine to cover the remaining 45 miles, resulting in an overall 70mpg. You can choose to recharge the battery by the petrol engine but the fuel consumption will no doubt be increased. It's best to use e-mode (battery only) for around towns when petrol engine fuel consumption is worst.
