Hello, when the pure electric range finishes and the engine kicks in what mpg do you get then? If not sure, roughly what do you think from your experience?
The reviewer isn’t actually correct there. You can charge the car while you drive if you place the car in battery save mode. That’ll take you up to 90% charge but you can charge further than that with energy regen (braking / coasting energy). Obviously that’s not the green route. It’s also the least efficient route. The most efficient way of getting your battery full is to charge it. Battery range from full is also weather (temp) dependant so expect as low as 12 miles in winter and as high as 18/19 miles in summer. You might be able to squeeze 20 miles if you turn off air con and radio and you’re gifted with a mostly downhill route ;)
Nav P Not a lot to report really. Only issue of note after 10 months is I’ve had the Infotainment unit crash on me about 6 or 7 times since I’ve had it. It could be that it’s powered by Windows Millennium edition ;) Otherwise still going great. Drives as good as when I got her 😎
@@rajvirsanny8592 not much of one but it was a decent motor overall. Just the odd glitch which required a reset by the dealer that sometimes caused the car to not gracefully switch between petrol, electric and back again. I let her go now as I've got a Tesla now :)
Twin power turbo(twin scroll turbo) not twin turbo sir.

Is the 55mpg calculated only on non edrive driving? If so the overall mpg based on 16k miles is 88mpg which is pretty impressive
What a delightful review! Very knowledgeable! Might have to get one :D
does the engine not charge the battery up while you're driving the car
Hi! Thanks for commenting. It's not exactly the engine - it's the power from regenerative braking that tops the battery up while you are on the move.

Good honest review
Thanks!
Anyone own one? What issues have you had?
