    Yes, it is quite thirsty and averages 7.4l/100 but one should take in mind it’s not a small engine, non turbo and the weight of the car. I definitely think the manual will perform better.

  • @maxlodewyk_na
    @maxlodewyk_na3 ай бұрын

    Thanks for watching and also your contribution Tunga. So with hybrids, you don’t need a charger, the batteries get charged by driving the car. Also, hybrids save you some fuel because up to a certain speed, (say 60km/hour) the car only runs on batteries especially within the city. Full electric vehicles need charging and we have a few stations at places like M&Z Mercedes as well as BMW, but I think those are just for their vehicles and not the public.
