Afraid I can't comment on the Crossland because I haven't driven it.

First of all, because of the world we live in, I have to give you a disclaimer - the following is not professional advice and should not be taken as such. I will not be responsible for any damage caused to your car! There. As with any hybrid or vehicle that includes an electric motor and features regenerative braking, the more powerful the effect, the less you will actually use your physical brakes, extending their life. With fully electric cars and 'one pedal driving' it very often results in using the actual brakes only to slow down to a complete stop from low speeds, where regeneration doesn't have much of an effect any more. Engine braking, on the other hand, should not harm your engine, as long as you don't push it close to redline. And yes, I would not be revving any cold internal combustion engine high, whether by applying throttle or going downhill; things don't have time to get to a proper operating temperature. Both the SX4 and Duster are good picks. But do definitely test-drive both yourself first, before making your decision.

Grazie!

I don't think the system (or, in fact, any electronics on Li-io batteries) will ever allow them to get fully discharged through use. The only way I could see them discharged below safe voltage is by not charging them for months (or years), in which case they will refuse to charge again through normal means (can still be sometimes charged but the process is different and requires a few electronic tools) or if the battery became damaged in some way. Whatever the case, since this is a mild hybrid, I think you would still be able to drive normally, just without the extra electric engine and the car would most likely throw error codes at you. But, again, I'm just guessing.

@@Pit-Stop Thank you very much! I just can't decide what new car I should to buy: Suzuki S-Cross with older look and mild-hybrid engine or Citroën C4 2021 with modern look and features and "pure" petrol engine. I use my car to drive to work and for frequent trips. Mostly asphalt, here and there a forest or field road.

I'm assuming you don't really need AWD, then. Honestly, I think you should test drive both and see which one you prefer. I can't speak for the new C4, since I haven't driven it, but the S-Cross is a nice little car. For frequent trips, I'd almost say get a diesel, although those are apparently being phased out by more and more manufacturers. You should also check whether you'll be paying less tax in your country if the car is a mild hybrid.

Same thing here..S cross would suit me better with bigger boot space,but tried them both, thought over, and over about it,and at the end I went for full spec Vitara. And I love it so far..(I wish it had a bit bigget boot...,but apart from that all is great!)

@@vukasin5667 quite like the new Dacia Duster 150 bhp 4x4 certainly bigger than the Vitara but handling wouldn't be as good or the refinement. I also have a Stepway and it surprisingly good as a second car.

Vitara as pointed has pretty average boot for today's standards. So I would rule it out. Probably in favor of Kia Xceed which has similar price but much bigger boot, imho much better design and also better interior and infotainment by the way.

@Chris Trevanion that's true for 4WD but again for majority of people boot size is more important than 4WD. Also, 4WD is needed only for heavy off road rides or heavy winter conditions which I don't experience in places where I ride my car. It also brings bigger fuel consumption as side effect.

@@mariojager43 yes but the only difference is that duster have 3 stars euroencap and sandero 4 so till 5 stars 🤔 it's a long path. I don' t say regarding the look style or the design but they don' t have rear disk breake and the small detaill will make the difference.

Most likely due to the automatic having worse fuel economy.

@@Pit-Stop I see, thank you. I have SX4 S-Cross, with 1.4 AT and Allgrip specification, model year 2018 and it consumes around 7.0 L/100. With manual and mild-hybrid seems the fuel consumption is noticeable better. Nice car and - as always - nice video!

Thank you!

Automatic in Q1 ,2021 in the UK and I would guess around £28k.

Defeats the main purpose of having the USB ports to begin with.

@@Pit-Stop sure but as it's annoyance (both for location and speed of charging), it's easy solution to that problem. If 12V is on the front dash on easy accessible location. Most cars don't have USB ports with support for speed charging anyway.

Are you satisfied with the quality? Does this car have any problems? Thank you!

@@Concionator Hi, the quality is fine within the vehicles price bracket and no, no problems whatsoever.

@@Beorn. Thank you very much!

Ground clearance is 18 cm - how much would you want?
