This cars incredibly capable off road! I love its styling. And better then an all electric model. Fast infotainment system too. This platform has been used for quite a few cars now and it’s interesting the take each manufacture has taken, the Alfa Romeo Junior uses it and some have said it’s the best handling electric car ever!
Hey, thanks for the vid. How would you rate the hybrid drivetrain smoothness? Is it jerk-free both on- and off-throttle? What was your observed fuel economy? Thanks!
Greetings! in general, I did not like the smoothness of the work - there is too much noise, sharp jerks, etc., it is immediately obvious that the system will still be refined. For the sake of smooth operation, I would definitely not buy this car. This car is about something else. Fuel economy is more or less acceptable, but it depends a lot on the type and manner of driving - active driving greatly increases fuel consumption. In the mixed cycle, you can achieve 5-5.5 l/100 km, but with smooth movement without sharp accelerations. It must be remembered that this is still an MHEV and not a full-fledged hybrid.
Congratulations on the long-awaited purchase! 🎉the little Jeep copes well with the track, but the wheelbase is not enough on bad roads. despite only 100 hp turned out to be surprisingly dynamic in feelings.
@@howsthecar-dude Just what you´ve done, drive the car in real life conditions: city, country roads, highways, etc. The general information about the car can be read on the web. Just my opinion.
pretty good video dude I am torn between this and the new dacia duster hybrid, so much flavor to both that sound 10:11 on the highway? its not really motor sound right its fake? like what they do with electric american trucks?
Hello! Thanks! It’s true sound) since it is a three-cylinder turbo engine - it produces a characteristic sound and therefore it is well transmitted in the video. I do like Duster, know about its possibilities especially out of highways - off-road - and waiting for test😊
hello friend! unfortunately, I won't be able to remove it separately, because the test is over... As for the electric traction, it is only there for the first few meters, then the internal combustion engine turns on quite sharply. I wanted to test the operation of the electric motor during the test, but due to the fact that you move mainly in the city - it works literally for a few seconds))) maybe the situation would be better with a fully charged battery, but in the heat at stops it is quickly discharged by the air conditioner. At the same time, the battery charge constantly fluctuates at about half of the charge. I would characterize it more as a mild hybrid, although the manufacturer claims the opposite))

Thank you! Useful video. We have already test driven one and liked it.
Cool! how was that driving, did u enjoy?

Hi from Spain, thanks for the video, I ordered one in February, and counting. Yes, more than seven months of wait... Bumpy roads indeed.

as a motorist, what content about cars and in what formats would you be interested in viewing?

hello thanks for the video! Can it go with ev only? You were driving at low speeds a lot but i didn't see your engine turned off
