Or are you ready to take the leap to an EV? That eliminates the gas engine, but you need a convenient way to recharge.īelow, we explain how the technologies work, plus offer CR’s real-world insights into the pros and cons for each type. Or is a plug-in hybrid more for you? They split the difference between a hybrid and an EV, with a rechargeable battery that provides 20 to 40 miles of electric range before transitioning to regular hybrid operation. So it’s important to understand how they work, and to match their strengths with your driving needs and preferences.įor instance, should you stick with a traditional gasoline-electric hybrid that never needs to be plugged in? They’re fuel-efficient, and most are reliable, but they aren’t emissions-free. These models provide energy-efficient transportation while lowering or eliminating tailpipe emissions, diminishing noise, and reducing operating costs.īut living with an electrified vehicle-especially a pure EV-is different from owning a typical gasoline model. The rollout of new EVs, plug-in hybrids, and traditional hybrids is good news if you’re looking for an alternative-fuel vehicle. In fact, a few dozen all-new, pure electric models are set to debut by the end of 2024. These figures may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the starting charge of the battery, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.The pandemic has slowed auto production, but not carmakers’ plans for new electrified vehicles. Only compare fuel consumption, CO 2 and electric range figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedures. Figures shown are for comparability purposes. The Compass 4xe is a plug-in hybrid vehicle requiring mains electricity for charging. ^These figures were obtained after the battery had been fully charged. Only compare fuel consumption and CO 2 figures with other cars tested to the same technical procedure. Fuel consumption (weighted, combined) (l/100 km): 2.0 – 1.8 Values calculated on the basis of WLTP procedure (Regulation (EU) 2018/1832).įuel consumption and CO 2 figures are provided for comparative purposes only and may not reflect real life driving results, which will depend upon a number of factors including the accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles and vehicle load.

The simulator foresees a year consisting of 350 days, of which 250 days per week and 100 weekend days and also assumes 15 days of non-use of the vehicle.įCA is not responsible for any decision to purchase the Renegade hybrid plug-in (trim Limited) from users based on the results provided by the simulator or in any case on the information about the Renegade hybrid plug-in (trim Limited) from the same provided.Ĭompass 4xe: CO 2 emission (weighted, combined) (g/km): 48 – 44. Therefore, FCA assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and reliability of the estimate of potential economic savings calculated with the simulator.

The estimate of the economic savings obtained with the simulator can differ, even significantly, according to multiple factors, such as, for example, driving style and conditions, type of route, climatic conditions, air conditioning of the passenger compartment, vehicle status, battery charge level and age, etc.

The data relating to the number of kilometers, type of route, fuel cost and number of completed electric recharges are entered independently by the user in the simulator and FCA assumes no responsibility for them. These values are indicated to allow the comparison of the data of the different vehicles and may not be representative of the actual consumption values, which depend on multiple factors, such as, for example, the driving style, the route, the weather and road conditions, the state, methods of use and equipment of the vehicle, etc. The homologation values of the fuel and energy consumption of Compass plug-in hybrid present on the simulator are based on the WLTP procedure according to the current legislation (Regulation (EU) 2018/1832). The simulator provides a purely indicative estimate of the economic savings, potentially obtainable by choosing the Compass 4xe plug-in hybrid compared to the current thermal-powered vehicle of the user the estimate obtainable with the simulator is in no case a guarantee of actual savings.
