A laddbar folkbil with an exclamation point on the operating economy

the first of the month, the shaking of the motor trade in Sweden. The third car, which was sold in January was, in fact, laddbar. It could have sold even more if it had been the cars for the ”common people.” A roomy station wagon, which manages the family's need for transportation, without a knot, it does not cost a lot of money and have a decent range.

This is where the Kia Ceed SW, the Plug-In comes into play. The price is 339.900 crowns, and a miljöbonus 39 294 of the crowns lands in the net, in almost the exact 300.000. Basically, it's a completely standard Kia Ceed station wagon, equipped with a 1.6-liter petrol engine of 105 horsepower, plus an electric motor of the 61-horsepower engine.

the electricity generated in the five-mile, according to the EUROPEAN union's new, more stringent förbrukningstest WLTP. The motor package is not entirely new, we find a one-size-fits other models from Kia and Hyundai. However, in contrast to these are the Kia Ceed SW is something so helylle, which is a real station wagon. At the time of writing, the cheapest laddhybridkombin in the country.

I am test-driving the car, in the south of France, near Nice, in an ideal elbilsväder, either cold or hot. The car shows the estimated electricity range of 56 miles. I have the buttons in the electrical mode is ”ANY”, which means that the vehicle gives priority to the electric motor. The gasoline engine is used to heat the passenger compartment, regardless of whether you like it or not.

, and it does take a lot of energy. The forecast is lowered thoroughly even after one and a half miles. I am trying to save back to the scope by selecting run program ”eco”. However, when the choking gasresponsen, and it almost feels like the car is going to stay out on the slopes. The electric motor of the 61-horsepower engine, has an uphill task as long as the work itself. The car weighs about 200 kg more than the bensinmodellen.

It is the only alternative to the ”eco” is the name of a ”sport”, but I had to, I would have preferred a third option, a ”just in time”service. Laddhybriden is likely to be a best-seller in Sweden.

check the soft and subtle. It sounds to most, kind of like lövblåsen in the garden. The motors work together to accommodate up to 120 km / h, then the petrol engine take care of itself. The top speed is 171 km / h. 105 horse power, has its limits.

a heavy-duty battery has a reduced load at 354 pounds, but the cargo area has a storage under the cargo floor had disappeared.

out Of the box, the car has an extensive equipment list, with the mobiltelefonuppkoppling, rattvärme and helljusautomatik. The safety equipment is good and offers a autobroms, filhållningsassistans, and adaptive cruise control.

, by the Col de Vence, brings the battery up to the day, after a mere 36 kilometers away. The petrol engine is going in, and now you realize how quiet it is to drive on electricity. After the tip wears, the performing, the battery is being charged, and by the time we reach our destination, is in the range of 19 miles on electric. To reach the five miles of el is certainly doable on flat ground.

Now is the time to sit down and quickly write down the körintrycken as the Kia Ceed is not a character that will stick in your mind. But it does have other good qualities. With a low and at times non-existent air resistance, follows a low carbon economy. There is a small battery on the 8.9 kilowatt-hours, has not been as environmentally harmful in its production.

, But it is the operating economy, which is the exclamation point. The price premium of 73.000 sek is on budget elmil. The petrol version is cleared, has a fuel cost of ten dollars per mile, and the hybrid model counter, with 2:25 per mile. You will save so 7:75 sek per km to run on electricity. Run merpriset of laddhybriden requires approximately 9.400 elmil, bensinbilens malusskatt recital. It does laddhybriden an affordable option for those who can, charge regularly, and doesn't långkörningar.
