PHEVs are accused of being the worst of the worst, as they supposedly use way too much fuel and nobody ever charges them. In this test I deliver proof that this is absolute BS. This test was done with empty battery in order to evaluate the efficiency of the drivetrain irrespective of battery-size.

Thanks for this. Very useful. Consumption is not as bad as I had feared.

Thanks Helmut for you video. Citroen vehicles are not available here in the U.S. It nice to see vehicles that are not for sale here being tested and reviewed by you. It would be nice if we had more choices here in the U.S. as there are some very fuel efficient vehicles not available here that would sell if they were available here especially with the high fuel prices currently.

Modern Citroens are pretty "normal" cars, I liked the old ones, my first car was a Citroen BX, whith hydro-suspension.

So full electric it goes 50-60km. Avg consuption without the battery is 5.2l/100km, which is kind of amazin for 180bhp petrol engine in a 2ton car isn’t it? So what’s the consumption with full battery and petrol engine running, and how far does it go until the battery runs out, and you’re back to 5.2l?

Hello Mr Ecodriver, nice videos and very informative. Wondering if you had a chance to test or in near future planing to Skoda Superb iv ...would be great. Thanks for you work

The battery on our C5, when fully charged, now offers no more than 14 to 16 miles in range. It was 38 when we bought the car! Hardly worth plugging it in given the price of electricity in the UK. I have found a number of forums where people are complaining about the battery management system. The car has been back in the dealership numerous times and they can't do anything about it. I wouldn't buy another.

they been raising electricity price throughout Europe in past years, EVs/phev were cheap cheap to charge at start, then similar and now already more expensive.
