New Hybrid MPG
Hi, so had my 230 ultimate hybrid for a couple of weeks. Not loads of milage cause of the weather, mainly pottering around town in eco mode. But I thought I would get a higher mpg than what I am getting. Is there some setting or something else I am missing? I don't have a heavy foot when driving and drive quite smoothly.
My current accumulated mpg is shown below and only getting 31.
Thanks

The cold weather combined with short trips will mean that much of your driving is not on EV mode. Don't expect miracles. I also do a lot of "pottering around town" and currently I'm getting a similar return. A long drive and/or warmer weather will see an improvement.Kamikaze wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 1:57 pm Hi, so had my 230 ultimate hybrid for a couple of weeks.

Tucson Ultimate Auto 230PS in Dark Teal. Love it!!
This type of issue is reflected on the US forums too, the hybrid doesn't seem to like colder conditions whatsoever. There's also the break in for the engine, which I assume would be delayed by whatever amount the hybrid battery is taking over.

It should hopefully get better particularly when the engine has had a bit more running time and the weather warms up a bit.Kamikaze wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 1:57 pm Hi, so had my 230 ultimate hybrid for a couple of weeks.

One user with the HEV model on here has done over 50k miles in a short timeframe and with lots of motorway trips (over 70mph in the HEV and the mpg drops off quite a bit) and they have averaged 43mpg.
I'm at 43mpg after 7k miles of mixed motoring and this will be my second winter using the car, but as you can see I'm not a high mileage driver.
SWMBO has a 21 230 ultimate with tech and she is noticing the cold, the engine starts in the garage these days as opposed to EV, my diesel suffers somewhat less of an MPG drop in this colder weather. I suppose these EV batteries all need some preheating to run at fuller capability.
This would probably average out for the mpg they suggested l, even though I'm sure the testing is done on perfect flat roads.
