It's a petrol car assisted by an on-board, battery-powered electric motor, which recharges continuously as you slow down or brake. Meaning? No cables to plug in and no need to change the way you drive. You just sit back and let the technology do the work. Overall, a mild hybrid delivers lower fuel bills, less local pollution, quieter starts and the all-important feel of driving electric.​ 

When you're driving a Hybrid, the petrol-powered engine and electric motor work together to optimise fuel efficiency and performance. One just takes over from the other. You won't notice this transition at all, thanks to the super-silky-smooth dual clutch automatic gearbox, giving you a real electric car feel. So where does the fun come in? Instant acceleration from the electric motor. You'll love it. 

At low speeds, whether you're in slow traffic, making an early morning start or manoeuvring into a parking space, the electric motor delivers a totally smooth, super-quiet ride with zero local emissions.

Out on the highway meanwhile -  once you reach cruising speed - the car coasts on stored electric energy, topped up by friction with the road, saving fuel and reducing noise and air pollution.
