AI Market Summary

Practical plug-in hybrid with strong fuel economy when regularly charged; poor electric range if neglected or driven long motorway stretches.
Mid-range pricing for segment; +7.8% annual trend suggests decent hold, but watch for battery degradation costs post-warranty affecting resale.
12V auxiliary battery discharge common if parked idle; main traction battery degrades noticeably after 60k–80k km if not regularly topped up.
Before purchase, check charging history with owner, inspect port connector for corrosion, and request independent diagnostic on traction battery capacity.

Maintenance costs

estimated per year

PHEV servicing is less frequent than conventional petrol (longer service intervals possible), but battery thermal management and high-voltage system diagnostics add cost; omit transmission fluid changes; budget extra €100–150 annually for unexpected electrical faults common to early 2020 models.

Annual service (petrol engine)Oil and filter change (5W-30 synthetic, ~4.7 L); air filter; brake fluid inspection; no transmission fluid change required

€200/yr

Battery health check & thermal management systemAnnual diagnostic scan of battery SOH, high-voltage isolation test, and coolant inspection for battery pack

€120/yr

Tyres (amortised)PHEV weight and electric torque cause faster wear; replace every 35,000–45,000 miles at ~€600 per set
