This plug-in hybrid runs mainly on its electric motor for short trips, delivering up to 100 km of pure-electric range. Once the battery is depleted the 1.5-litre engine keeps the car moving while sipping 4.8 litres per 100 km on the WLTP combined cycle. A full tank and full charge give more than 1000 km of total range, so long journeys need little planning.
The car itself is protected for six years or 150 000 km, the electric motor for eight years or 150 000 km, and the Blade battery for eight years or 200 000 km to 70 % capacity. That long battery cover is the main ownership reassurance.
