Manually selected through the vehicle’s touchscreen, the SAVE function prevents the battery charge dropping below the level which has been selected. This allows you to provision for quiet, zero tailpipe emissions travel at a later point in the journey.
PREDICTIVE ENERGY OPTIMISATION (PEO) FUNCTION

PREDICTIVE ENERGY OPTIMISATION (PEO) FUNCTION

Entering a destination in your navigation system will automatically engage your vehicle’s PEO function. By using geographical data to predict the road ahead, PEO intelligently switches between the electric motor and petrol engine to maximise fuel economy throughout the journey.
