There’s way too much focus on the electric only range. That’s just it’s party trick to sneak back home or out early.
Go and drive a PHEV for a month and you might see it’s actually a great system. Particularly amazing if you don’t pay to charge it. You may only end up filling it with fuel every 2500km.
The question that needs to be answered is how much is it to get into one. There’s talk in the media of $90-100k. That’s ridiculous and would rule out most honest tradies.
Do we know what spec it will be offered in? I see the Wildtrak in the promotional material. Will it come in lower XLS or XLT trim levels?

I get that ....those real world scenarios are from owning a PHEV ......it's 18mths away so you would hope that they would update it , because in 18mths you would think there will probably be better options with this range maybe they would have been better off with a straight hybrid.....lighter and cheaper to produce ?
