And also use the car. Diesel version vs hybrid of the same car. Not to mention same driver.

@@ninakozlova2181 I do not see a problem in using different cars to demonstrate the efficiency of diesel engines. I would agree that the method used could be better. In addition, if the test was done in the city only, the clear winner would be the hybrid. Further more, if the 1.5 liter Yaris hybrid was used instead of the 1.8 liter Auris the result would have been undisputable.

I've done 80 mpg with 2 adults, 2 child's and luggage , on a diesel engine (108hp) in summer. A trip of over 3400 miles. Sounds good?! For city electric or hybrid, for long drives diesel.

they were driven with the same style of driving on the same roads from what it looks they drove economically and quite slow to get the most range.

That's because you'll run the battery out running in the long distance, the battery is recharged on stops, and begins after the gas gets it started, so it's designed for countries like Japan where they're not going to be going for long drives.

@@jackson5116 You are very wrong. The Japanese often drive long distance. The hybrid car is designed for city driving. The concept has nothing to do with the country of origin. I drive 10,000km long distance every year in Japan. Don't forget that Japan is bigger than the UK (about 1.5 x the size).

@@ET-cj8jo What’s the UK got to do with it? Video was made in Ireland.

so jack's wrong on two counts, unless they were driving on power mode, the battery isn't drained on long distances xd

@@murpho999 Apologies. I meant to use the UK as an example that Japan is not so small and that people drive long distances, similar to the UK which is also a multi-island relatively small country.

Yes, that's what the hybrid for. It will give 2-3x more range than non hybrid. Diesel has very high torque at low rpm, good for highway but sucks in city.

@@rondhole it depends on how you drive and more power lower down in the rpm range is better for stop and go you don’t have to rev as much

also, try doing that with a hybrid Yaris, especially the new 2021 Yaris!

And do the same test in a German Autobahn while driving continuously over 150 km/h. I wonder if hybrid can reach half the range of diesel in that case.

This road test seems to be another diesel gate scandal.. Drive 50% city and 50 highway and then see what stops first. I drive a 2021 camry and I get over 65mpg combined, I get 57mpg on motorway 65-70mpg on A roads and in the city I get 52mpg if I have to stop and go on traffic lights. I don't believe they know how to drive a hybrid

Perhaps you have a point however it's not in the people's interest to have a 'government' taxing working people into their political thinking, especially since 3/4 of the rest of the world don't follow the Alarmist in the EU's crazy views about the world burning itself to death because of the private motorists?..

I also have Focus 1.8 tdci 2009 and now i buy auris 2015 hybrid....auris is awsome

Not bad! :)

bet that was a fun trip. Like waiting for the injection to numb your mouth in the dentist waiting room.

Test it in city with lots of traffic jam. The difference could be dramatic. 2-3x more range in Hybrid.

I worked out that if I was driving the hybrid it would have done at least 25 miles more than the diesel

@@rondhole Your correct and what cc/s as in engines in both cars!!! I can assure you if it was the 1.8 cc Hybrid 2021 I am more than sure it would have still be running how ever the Hybrid was designed for if you likes of city /town driving and as for me I go for boot space eg Toyota 1.8cc Estate Sports Touring Sports 2021 :) If you like a faster car then go for the 2.0cc Toyota Sports Tour :) which is much better for the Motorways and more poke from the engine but you will use more fuel. 2.0cc around 55 miles to the gallon and the 1.8cc Estate in and around 65 miles to the gallon or more. PS I am from N.Ireland and we don't have that many long Motorway's :( How ever S.Ireland have a bigger choice.

running the number that would result in the diesel giing about 8 km further in this specific test

​@@fuseteamHow? Diesel had 0.66 litre more fuel.

The tanks were drained by a professional.

its still fake. diesel drive fruther than petrol but not hybrids otherwise toyota wouldve just made diesels instead

@@xondeez757 Depends on the driving you do. Hybrids are popular with taxis and city drivers with a lot of stop-starting and a lot of speeds under 30-40mph, where combustion engines are very inefficient. But on long journeys with very little stop-starting, and speeds closer to 50mph or above, hybrids are almost entirely reliant on the engine and the electric contributes little to nothing.

@@xondeez757 Peugeot has hybrid DIESEL. Do you know?

@@xondeez757I know this post is old but I’m looking at getting a hybrid because I spend 400 a month or more on petrol but I’ve been calculating exactly how far a full tank takes me and it does about 200km better than my moms petrol hybrid. My tank is 49l and hers is 47l. So with that in mind, sadly doesn’t seem like I’d benefit from a hybrid whatsoever

Yeah and now diesel is more expensive than petrol so it doesn't make sense. They could use the same amount of fuel and just say how much it would cost xD

Yes true that diesel would have gone even further if thay put the same amount in both cars as diesel is moor expensive 👍

@@mattlawton4715 This was in 2018. It is visible that the diesel got more fuel in it.

At the start You see that there was 13.4L petrol and 14.0 diesel. Seems like they did really close as that 0.6 L would take you for another 10-15km

greece 1,6 litre for 95e10 1,3 a litre for diesel

Well, but they didn't drain the battery either so....

That's not a small car The new Suzuki alto however

To move a certain weight you need to consume a fixed amount of kw/power ... 1.6 or 2.0 has to produce the same kw requirement .... petrol or diesel its like a KW storage liquid multiplied with engine efficiency ... so its the same fuel amount required for the same amount of kw needed ... but the moving friction or weight of a bigger engine can require some extra fuel but not so much more ... the start stop system reduced the amount of fuel spent in traffic jams where big engines have higher fuel waste ... small engine has no problem but people "reasonable expectations" are not reasonable at all ...

Yes, it depends on the time of the month on that one. Although I’m not sure how that would compare now with E10 petrol.

I'm not sure that it would have won. But they definitely should've done the test with 20 litres (or 15 litres) rather than £20.

on LPG a standard petrol car would beat all of them. Even an old 4 litre Jaguar XJ running on LPG would do over 200km.

I don't understand why the diesel hybrid option is not more popular. You get the best of both worlds.

@@Domski777 diesel is a byproduct of crude oil distillation process which means that there's less diesel than there is petrol.

Real-world in the city or highway? The difference is nominal, about 10% in highway but the Hybrid will be 100% more range in city for sure. Especially when the speed limit below 50mph.

@@rondhole your correct :) City driving is what the Hybrid was designed for not racing up Motorways .

I agree, I will be doing a 140bhp diesel vs 140bhp hybrid in the next few months, 0-60 and MPG over 80 motorway miles.

Not up in N.Ireland my friend as Petrol is much cheaper up in N.Ireland.

@@donkirk5433 yes, but Northern Ireland is in the UK, so petrol and diesel will be subject to the same taxes as in Great Britain. I presume, without knowing for sure, that the tax regime in the republic makes diesel cheaper than petrol.

And gave off 38 more grams of CO2 per klm.

and therefore that hybrids are a waste of money.

And it’s 2022 soon lol

It's happening in April no more euro 5 😭

Ford hybrid is not as efficient as Toyota hybrid

I am surprised you got less with the Hybrid!! was it a 2.0 cc try the 1.8cc

You cannot run the Hybrid battery to zero. It would ruin the Hybrid battery. The computer on board keeps it above 20% to protect the Hybrid battery from damage.

Best get a kei car instead

Best comment

its worse to run out of diesel, you cant just fill them up, the furl system has to be primed.

Get a phev prius, for toll discounts.

I'd probably still get a diesel. Hybrids cost a fortune to fix in case of a seize and diesel engines are a lot more reliable. Get a manual for better fuel economy.

Less on the diesel, i think, because of filters and adblue.

CO2 is not of any interest. But if you must know, petrol results in more co2 per km. Thus more food for nature and life on the planet.

@@flexairzFood and nature? Carbon dioxide enhances the green house effect, which leads to global warming. What difference would it make when there’s more trees and plants lost to natural disasters and deforestation.

@@yllparrot7496 good thing we don't live in a greenhouse and instead we live in God's creation 🙏

Totally correct in city traffic. Getting the same average fuel consumption as you with my TDI Octavia. But maybe only 30% city traffic. Diesel needs to warm up. Never buy for mainly short trips. Problems are guaranteed.

Was the diesel automatic otherwise it isn't fair

Rondhole!!! sorry most cars be they Hybrid or Petrol need a service at least once a year re oil change .

yep ..but Toyota have electricity too :)) so in the end is the total price vs distance !

Think about the cost of replace hybrid batteries! The diesel is the cheapest.

Slipstream only becomes effective over 100mph.

??? The Prius has a petrol engine, so yes to belts, cvt belt, etc. The Prius is not an electric car !!

Was the skoda an automatic gear otherwise it is not fair

Good judge a taxi driver :) and I would agree with you 100% Hybrid for city driving or town driving.

Why?

In a way you are correct, however, they are doing the test based on prices in Ireland.

pointless to do a test on parameters that fluctuate so often. Doing it by the volume of fuel would of made more sense and also proven which car is more efficient. They labelled it as hybrid vs diesel but they was they did it it’s more cost of petrol vs cost of diesel.

A O'Connor commented above you proving the Octavia still would have one but only by about 5km

Yes, the test is a bit flawed, but not in the sense you imply. What was tested here is purely the running costs of these vehicles which is exactly what matters in real life to a price conscious consumer or a fleet manager. What you are implying here with the claim that equal amounts of fuel should have been used, is that the goal of this test should have been to test the efficiency of these drivetrains. In that case, since diesel is about 5% more energy dense than petrol, the amount of fuel should be different, suppose 13.38 litres of petrol and 12.78 of diesel. Also before the test the battery pack of Auris should be depleted fully, the weight of cars should be equal etc. Anyway, all of this is irrelevant because all that matters here is the running costs and in that sense diesel is still unbeatable, no matter how you look at it.

@@TheStormix you've made quite an interesting point. For a more accurate measure, the Auris battery pack should have been depleted before the test. This would definitely took away some extra km from it's reach.

@@TheStormix How about using the 1.5 liter Yaris hybrid instead of the 1.8 liter Auris.! Maybe do an only-city test! In my opinion, diesel for highway, hybrid for city, it's your choice.

@@thelesls Sorry that can't happen sadly as the battery won't go below as a rule of 20%

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMuDi6lhqrHMkZs.html According to this video he managed 3,1L/100km or 75.9mpg in heavier Prius plug in hybrid, gooing 90km/h. And 4.5L/100km going 120km/h. (with main battery empty)

or better yet, use the 1.5 liter Yaris hybrid!
