We have had the Suzuki Across PHEV just over 12 months 8472 miles which includes towing a 1500kg caravan, the Suzuki has been 100% reliable without even a single minor issue. Average mpg over the past 12.5 months 119.3mpg this include allowance for electricity
I’m confused by mine 😂 I’m getting 34/35 miles taking daughter to from school. On a 60-70+mph run, I’m easily getting 38-42 miles before it switches to hybrid. Surely, I should be getting the most range locally?
We travel between 55/60 mph on a run in HEV mode achieving around 50 + mpg, on local run we have see 60/80 mpg. In theory hybrids are more efficient on local short journeys achieving approximately 40/60% + on regeneration, the Tucson 1.6 ICE has variable cam timing varying between the Atkinson cycle on light loads and the Otto cycle under load, you should be seeing north of 50 mpg ?
We are achieving those sort of figures towing something does not sound right, for some reason the combustion cycle on your ICE unit is not running efficiently ?
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
