Mitsubishi Petrol Hybrid Cars
The Mitsubishi Petrol Hybrid is a car that combines the best of both worlds: a petrol engine and an electric motor. This hybrid car is ideal for New Zealand driving conditions, providing efficiency, comfort and power.
The petrol engine in this vehicle is a 2.0L four-cylinder that produces 94kW of power and 199Nm of torque. It is paired with an electric motor that adds another 60kW and 137Nm, providing a total output of 104kW/332Nm. The combination allows for great acceleration, while also being fuel-efficient.
One significant benefit of the Mitsubishi Petrol Hybrid is its ability to drive solely on electric power for short distances, making it ideal for city driving in places such as Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch. The battery can be charged overnight from a standard household socket, taking around six hours to reach full capacity.
In addition to its eco-friendly credentials, the Mitsubishi Petrol Hybrid provides a comfortable ride thanks to features like regenerative braking which uses energy captured during braking to recharge the battery and provide additional torque when needed. The car's suspension system also provides a smooth ride even on bumpy roads.
Safety features are not neglected in this model either; it comes with adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking as standard across all trims. Other features include lane departure warning and blind-spot monitoring systems.
New Zealand’s geography means it can be challenging to find charging points outside urban areas. However, Mitsubishi has taken care of this by ensuring the petrol engine kicks in when needed, meaning drivers don’t have to worry about running out of charge in remote areas.
Overall, the Mitsubishi Petrol Hybrid offers a great balance between performance and fuel economy while keeping the environment in mind. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking for an eco-friendly option that still delivers speed and comfort on New Zealand roads.
