THE DRIVING RANGE OF YOUR PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE
The driving range of PEUGEOT plug-in hybrid vehicles allows you to travel both short and long distances. To ensure that you have a relaxed travelling experience, you can find all the information you need here: our advice for optimising your range and best practices to adopt.
Driving range of plug-in hybrid vehicles
Plug-in hybrid vehicles have two complementary engines (petrol and electric).
In 100% electric mode, our vehicles have a driving range of:
PEUGEOT ASSISTANCE TO OPTIMISE DRIVING RANGE
POWER INDICATOR
Your energy consumption is shown in real time on your dashboard for optimal management of your vehicle’s driving range.
HYBRID MODE
Hybrid mode allows you to use the electric motor and petrol engine depending on the driving style and type of road.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING
When you release the acceleratori, the electric motor acts as a generator, slowing the vehicle and recharging the battery.
FACTORS IMPACTING YOUR VEHICLE’S DRIVING RANGE
As with a petrol or diesel vehicle, these factors can affect the driving range of a plug-in hybrid vehicle:
Load carried
Driving with loads on the roof or with a window open increases wind resistance and therefore fuel consumption. A heavy load will also affect driving range.
Driving style
Smooth and eco-friendly driving will optimise your driving range.
Air-conditioning
Heating and air-conditioning can be responsible for 10% to 30% of your battery consumption.
Hills
Your fuel consumption is increased when travelling uphill and your range is affected. When travelling downhill, regenerative braking increases your driving range.
