T Series i-DM

The CO2 emission figures and fuel consumption values published are established according to legislated technical specifications (UNECE regulation /UN Regulation 83 and SANS 20101 standards) which sets out the procedures used to test fuel consumption and emission standards.

The derived claimed figures are established through specific tests, under controlled and standardised conditions. These figures may differ from the actual achieved consumption in real world conditions which may be influenced by road surfaces, altitude, geographic conditions, vehicles options, weather conditions, temperatures, humidity, wheel sizes and overall driving behaviour.

Illustrations may vary from country to country. The Retail Price is subject to change without prior notice and includes 15% VAT, CO2 Emission Tax and a 7 Years / 75 000km Service Plan.

1. What is PHEV?

PHEV stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. It is a type of car that combines a conventional internal combustion engine (petrol/diesel) with an electric motor and a larger, rechargeable battery pack that can be plugged into an external electricity supply.

2. How does it work?

It operates using both electricity and fuel. You can charge the battery using an external plug (AC or DC fast charger). When the battery is charged, the car runs primarily on electricity (EV mode). Once the battery is depleted, the vehicle automatically switches to hybrid mode, using the petrol engine either to drive the wheels or act as a generator to keep you going.

3. Why consider a PHEV?

Zero Range Anxiety: You get the benefits of an electric vehicle for short daily commutes without worrying about running out of charge on long trips, thanks to the backup petrol engine.
Fuel Efficiency: It offers dramatically lower fuel consumption compared to standard petrol cars.
Lower Emissions: Driving in electric mode results in zero tailpipe emissions.
