The new Sylphy does have a hybrid version. The E-POWER Sylphy is a hybrid model. Its dimensions are 4649/1815/1445mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2712mm, consistent with the current Sylphy model, and it continues to feature the segmented waistline and fashionable floating roof design elements. Additionally, the new model will offer optional two-tone body colors and exterior mirror color choices for consumers. Hybrid cars: What is commonly referred to as a hybrid generally means a gasoline-electric hybrid, which combines fuel (gasoline, diesel) with electric power. Hybrid vehicles use an electric motor as an auxiliary power source to assist the engine in driving the car, offering high fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. Characteristics of hybrid vehicles: The electric motor assisting the engine provides strong and smooth power during normal driving, contributing to energy saving and emission reduction. They are fuel-efficient, using electric power for low-speed driving and switching to fuel only when high-speed driving requires greater power output, thus reducing fuel consumption and making them ideal for urban driving.
Yes, there is a hybrid version called the e-POWER model. I was quite surprised during my first test drive—it's different from regular hybrids because the engine only charges the battery, while the electric motor actually drives the car, making it exceptionally quiet and smooth. When driving in the city, the fuel consumption is around 4 liters per 100 km, and a full tank can cover over 900 kilometers. However, it's important to note that its battery is small, so pure electric mode is only suitable for short distances, as it mainly relies on fuel-generated power. There's even an energy recovery paddle behind the steering wheel, which is super convenient for recharging when going downhill.
