Looking at a 2018 PHEV

[Kc123]

Hi there,

This vehicle wasn’t originally on my radar when we started our pre-owned vehicle search but it came up at a local dealership and I took it for a drive. I really liked how it felt but don’t know much about hybrid engines.

What is the general thought for a 2018 PHEV with 94,xxx kms in Canada? I am going to take it for a drive next week for an hour in EV mode to see how many kms I get but not sure what would be appropriate or a red flag.

Here’s a video of the vehicle. Dealer says previous owner said it got 20-25 kms on a full charge. I understand there’s no battery degradation warranty in Canada.

Vehicle looks in great shape.

I owned a 2018 and was the 1st to have one in Winnipeg.

I really loved the car. It was GT Trim which I picked up on Feb 18, 2018

I drove it til Sept 2022 and traded in Lease for a 2022 Gt with a 13.8kWhr Battery.

20 to 25 kms on a full charge is still great for the 94k on tge Odometer.

When you go for a test drive, try driving in ECO Mode, B0 and use left Pedal to slow down using Regen.

I found that I was able to get the the greatest Kms per Charge in these modes.

No red flags because the car will automatically turn on the Engine when the Drive Battery SOC is depleted.

Plz keep us updated on your Test drive experience
