HammerHead thanks for your reply, appreciated.
Points regarding larger wheels and 4WD etc noted, cheers.
The power of the HEV is 226 bhp compared to the 148 bhp for the mild hybrid, the HEV infills power and torque – 0-60 7.8 secs compared to 9.4 secs. Respect that it may not feel that much difference when running on petrol engine but the difference in performance is significant so from a driving perspective the mild hybrid must feel slower surely?
