Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Do I have to plug in and charge this hybrid car?
No, the 1.0 e-TEC is a Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV). It recharges itself using braking energy, so you only need to refuel it with petrol just like a standard car.
2. How is the fuel consumption compared to a regular 1.0 engine?
Thanks to the hybrid electric motor assisting with acceleration and allowing engine-off coasting, city fuel consumption is reduced by about 10-15% (averaging 4.8 - 5.3 L/100km).
3. Is the trunk of the HB smaller than the Estate (Combi)?
The Combi is slightly larger (640 liters), but the HB model offers a massive 600 liters—one of the best in its class—providing plenty of room for a stroller or multiple suitcases.
