Real World MPG - XC40 T5 Recharge (Hybrid)

[Ks2]

That sounds pretty good. I wonder how others who have driven more mileage now have fared ?

I’m at ~71 mpg after 2500 kms. Mostly 40+kms travels

I'm at 282 mpg after 2800 kms. Mostly <40km trips and using the battery.
The app also says I'm due a 70 euro Volvo refund to pay for the electricity consumed.

I drive with quite a light foot but I'm getting 25/26 miles electric and 70mpg on a 150 mile round trip. If your total commute is 22 miles you should do that easily.

I love this car, power mode is superb. I mainly drive "pure" but on hybrid the transition to petrol is almost unnoticeable and if accelerating you don't notice the transition at all.

The car is comfy and quiet. I had an F-Pace before, but I prefer the Volvo so much more. Best car I've had in years since my RR sport

@chrisxc40 - That is excellent consumption. Have you done any runs around 250 miles ?

No I haven't (I don't get out much ) A UK holiday beckons September so I'll let you know. I've just re-read my post and the "70mpg" is on the return leg of my 150 mile journey on a "flat battery" - the mpg is way higher than that on the outbound 75 miles. At the end of the first 75 miles the battery is exhausted, so the return journey is relying on the petrol engine. HOWEVER, electric keeps taking over for short periods - I guess this is due to recharge from breaking or relaxing the accelerator going downhill. so even on apparently "empty" battery the car does still run to a degree in a hybrid mode. so, that's where the 70mpg comes from - I think that's brilliant when you think the petrol equivalent probably does 35mpg

My last 7 days including one 300km round trip has been 1,4L/100km. Most other trips have been in pure or short bursts of Power mode. Pretty impressive. A little different from my last car at 24L/100km ( Porsche Cayenne S) under similar conditions.
