Liking the Hybrid a lot!
Looks and drives fantastic. As expected really! Very smooth, feels like an evolution yet again!
Tons of options and the hybrid drive train is fun.
However the fuel consumption levels are all over the place somehow, and are actually really bad in my testing (24MPG average?). Thus does not scale against the other cars in my experience. Maybe updates will follow to bring them all in line? No big deal but feels central to the experience in this case more than any other vehicle. Oh and the RHD version has the pedals in the wrong order. ;)
love it
anything ntbi is an automatic buy for me. i did demo it and loved it, the steering and cruising around is really nice and as usual the mesh is done really well, when u zoom out the car never disappears
nice hybrid car
bought the car at first day it was released. the handling of the car is always nice, and more fun of hybrid.
Interesting
I have to say I was intrigued to see that a hybrid car was built. It feels similar to the Origin, but with a gas engine sound. I immediately took it for a distance test.
Start: 9.6 miles*
End: 58 miles*
Speed limiter: off
Fuel tank at start: Full
Fuel tank at finish: Empty
Battery at start: 81%
Battery at finish: 1%
Top speed: 90 MPH
Distance traveled: 48.4 miles*
Fuel capacity: 11.9 gallons
MPG: 4.06
*All figures are rounded off to nearest 1/10 mile.
- Once it runs out of gasoline, the car will continue to run on electric power for a few hundred feet before dying.
- The car stays on electric power at or below 30 MPH until the battery depletes, and then the engine engages to recharge the battery.
- It's decently maneuverable at speeds below 70 MPH, even in sharp turns.
The car itself is expertly engineered and operates with no problems at all. The concept is truly a first-of-its-kind and I think it has a lot of potential. The only reason, however, that I cannot give it 5 stars is because the range is soooooo short.
Perfect
An incredible car with realistic details, excellent drivability. In short, a complete car for your daily life in the SL.
