Mild Hybrid, optimising efficiency
Mild Hybrid cars are the easiest way to switch to electrification. A petrol engine drives the wheels while an electric battery provides support during acceleration, up hills and while cruising. The only change you’ll notice is improved fuel efficiency and a more comfortable drive — particularly in stop-start traffic.
Hybrid, a thrilling electrified experience
Hybrid vehicles add an electric motor to your everyday petrol engine to bring you many of the benefits of electric, without the need to charge. The system seamlessly switches between electric, combustion, or a combination of the two, automatically applying the most efficient driving solution.
e-POWER, your first step towards going Electric
e-POWER combines a petrol engine and small battery to run an electric motor that drives the vehicle’s wheels. e-POWER has lower emissions and running costs compared to a traditional petrol engine2, but unlike a 100% electric vehicle, you don’t have to plug it in. There is no compromise in driving pleasure –e-POWER delivers instant and smooth acceleration, giving you that electric vehicle feel.

100% Electric, driving the future
Powered by an electric motor and battery pack, you'll never need to visit the petrol station again. Electric power is clean, silent, efficient and cheaper, but you do need to charge, which may mean planning long journeys and installing a charging point at home.
