definition of a hybrid car
There are 3 types of hybrid technology: mild hybrid, self-charging hybrid (full hybrid) and plug-in hybrid.
A car is said to be a hybrid when it uses at least two different energy sources to propel itself, generally:
- a combustion engine (petrol or diesel)
- an electric motor powered by a chargeable battery
The advantage of a full hybrid vehicle is that it charges itself, allowing fully electric driving for up to 80% of city journey time*.
Dacia favours self-charging hybrids that combine economy, ecology and practicality.
* Results of in-house tests using the urban (low) phase of the WLTC (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Cycle). % of travel time, depending on actual driving conditions (road type, driving style and weather conditions).
the advantages of hybrids
self-charging
No need for a charging point or cable; the battery charges automatically while driving through regenerative braking and deceleration.
fuel savings
A hybrid vehicle can consume up to 40% less fuel than an equivalent petrol engine*
* on the WLTP cycle in town
greater range
A hybrid car consumes less fuel than an equivalent combustion-powered car when the electric motor takes over, which is why it has a greater driving range.
lower CO₂ emissions
A hybrid vehicle emits up to 20%* less CO₂ compared with an equivalent combustion-powered vehicle.
* internal source based on homologated WLTP data for combined-cycle fuel consumption
how much fuel does a Dacia hybrid vehicle consume?
Dacia hybrid vehicles optimise their consumption by intelligently combining a combustion engine and an electric motor. In town, you often drive in electric mode. On the open road, the hybrid system reduces fuel consumption and increases the power of the combustion engine. As a result, you save money on every journey.
