I recently got a new suzuki Vitara mhev (off the scheme) and really like the regeneration when coasting or braking and every time I go down a hill I take my foot of the gas and it’s great seeing the bars go up. Actually got the 48v battery full today 5 bars as I turned of the aircon. It then uses that battery power to give a boost when needed and to restart the stop start system (which is instant) which is something I hated before on other cars, i’ve had with stop/start as there was a delay and it runs stuff when the cars engine is off. You can set the aircon to eco, standard or comfort when stop start is on also.. Guess what i don’t like is that? as it doesn’t have an electronic handbrake when you use adaptive cruise and come to a total stop behind a car, it then cannot hold the car without you putting your foot on the brake and if you remove your foot from the brake pedal, say you put it in N and put handbrake on the engine starts. But hey ho i got used to that now, just how it is, no cars perfect imo. Everything else i really like alot and very happy with my choice as it’s something i might keep for as long as it’s viable to do so.
This is how the Suzuki mild hybrid works if your interested
