Porsche Panamera S E Hybrid (plug in)

Electric: The car is driven by the electric motor only For emission-free driving without consuming any fuel.

Combustion Engine:The car is driven by a combustion engine depending on its level of charge and load requirements, the battery can also be charged (changing the load point) For long journeys and high speeds

Boost: The car is driven by the electric motor and the combustion engine 'Kicking down’ on the gas pedal calls up the car’s maximum power (boost) For greater performance, e.g. for overtaking manoeuvres and dynamic response

Coasting: The combustion engine is automatically switched off and disengaged when the gas pedal is released while driving Slight recuperation to generate energy for the vehicle systems For emission-free cruising without any drive at all and without consuming any fuel.

Recovery (of braking energy): When you brake, the electric motor works like a generator to produce electricity The combustion engine remains switched off Recovering braking energy that would otherwise be lost – it can be used again later for electric driving.

Nothing beats the tesla.If i had money i would import it to Pakistan and charge it on Generators

there is no 1200CC and lower with Hybrid technology. by hybrid means it runs on two sources of energy. 1.2L is already an efficient engine. Most of Hybrids are in range of 1.3, 1.4 1.6, 1.8, 2L, 2.5 and so on.

I thought the same thing when the budget was announced that which hybrid falls under the 1200 cc category. total scam

Inshallah this car is cheap and gets released this year! start sending Suzuki emails and ask them to start producing

The Suzuki Swift Plug in Hybrid Concept.

The Nikkei says that the concept Swift plug-in is powered by a 55 kW (73.8 horsepower) motor and packs a 2.66 kWh lithium-ion battery. The plug-in's 660 cc engine is reportedly quite the fuel sipper, with combined fuel consumption listed at 37.6 kilometers per liter (88.4 miles per gallon U.S.) on Japan's JC08 cycle. The plug-in Swift supposedly boasts an electric-only range of up to 19 miles.

To cope with the challenge of creating an environment-friendly vehicle, PSA Peugeot Citro?n is developing an all-new technology combining Gasoline internal combustion engine and compressed air storage. "Hybrid Air" is a key step in the path toward fuel consumption of 2 l/100 km. The major innovation lies in the way the powertrain adapts to driving styles, adjusting independently to one of three modes: Air, Gasoline, Combined. Hybrid Air technology will be fitted on B-segment models starting in 2016.


The reason behind this innovation?
To answer the worldwide challenges of greenhouse gas and the pollutants reduction To propose to our customers cars equipped with a new full hybrid technology affordable to the great majority in terms of price and performance An innovative full-hybrid gasoline solution. An important step towards the 2l/100 km car by 2020.
What is it exactly?
A new type of full hybrid powertrain that uses petrol and compressed air:- An innovative combination of tried and tested technologies: a petrol engine, a unit to store energy in the form of compressed air, a hydraulic motor-pump assembly and an automatic transmission working with an epicyclic gear train.- The smart control system adapts the operating mode to the driver's commands and optimises energy efficiency in three different modes: ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle), petrol internal combustion and combined. An offer that fits closely with the Hybrid4 electric hybrid for more powerful vehicles in segments C and D. A more competitive total cost of ownership (residual value, cost in use)
A worldwide response to the need for energy-efficient vehicles. A technology that is suited to any climate and driving conditions and to any after-sales service network.
What are the benefits for users?
Consumption: 69g CO2/km homologated performance, i.e. 2.9 l/100 km (internal combustion, manual gearbox, benchmark of 104g CO2/km) for a conventional body style, such as the Citro?n C3 or Peugeot 208, without any specific adaptations ,Savings of 45% in city driving, offering a 90% increase in range in comparison with conventional engines ,A comfortable and pleasant drive, 60% to 80% in ZEV mode in city driving, depending on the traffic, An automatic transmission that offers a top-quality, smooth and pleasant drive.

The Insight features a highly efficient, 1.3-liter, i-VTEC? 4-cylinder engine with CVT Engine. city/44 hwy/42 combined mpg rating. Based on 2013 EPA mileage ratings. Base price $18600. Fully loaded $23700.

The CR-Z is powered by a 1.5-liter i-VTEC? 4-cylinder engine with Integrated Motor Assist IMA?. The CR-Z operates its 16 valves via one overhead camshaft, employing rocker arms for each exhaust and intake valve. In addition to providing variable intake-valve duration and lift profiles across the rpm range, the CR-Z's engine closes one intake valve at low rpm, running with three valves per cylinder until the engine crosses the 2300 rpm threshold, after which the engine resumes four-valves-per-cylinder operation. This makes the engine run more efficiently in the very bottom end of the power band. As an added bonus, the engine also produces an impressive exhaust note.

Base @ $19900 while full option trim is $23155
