No doubt other manufacturers are going the same way, at least in diesel-friendly territories... |
Today diesel are consuming 20% less than their gasoline equivalent. As the prius is rated at 4.3 l/100 (104 g/km CO2), a diesel prius should be consuming 3.44 l/100 (91 g/km CO2). As these cars are smaller than a prius they are not doing so well, but they may be the best while Toyota doesn't sell any diesel hybrid. The HCH2 is rated at 4.6 l/100 (109 g/km), so a diesel HCH2 should be consuming 3.68 l/100 (98 g/km).
PSA (the Peugeot/Citroen group) is talking about hybrids since years... We are all waiting for them to actually sell hybrids. Currently only the
CITROEN - Stop and Start system is sold only on 2 Citroen specific models and is very expensive.
If their prices are competitive with prius' one, ie not more than 10% over a prius, then if I have the money, I may buy one.
Denis.
