Types of electric/hybrid vehicles explained

An electrified Suzuki offers enhanced efficiency while producing lower emissions.

    Electric EVs run purely on electricity, which means they’re highly efficient and produce zero emissions. EVs require manual charging.
    Plug-in hybrid PHEVs such as the Suzuki Across are equipped with an electric motor and a combustion engine. This means they can run on electric power alone – up to 46 miles in the case of the Across. PHEVs are super economical to run and produce very low emissions. As with EVs, PHEVs require manual charging, which can be done at home, at work and out and about.
    Full hybrid Full hybrid electric vehicles (FHEVs) such as the Suzuki Swace run on electricity at low speeds and when coasting. This makes them very useful in stop-start urban situations. Otherwise, FHEVs run on fuel while delivering instant torque and above-average efficiency. FHEVs offer self-charging convenience too.
    Mild hybrid Mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEVs) include the Suzuki Ignis, Swift, Swift Sport, Vitara and S-Cross, each of which offers enhanced efficiency, instant torque and self-charging convenience.

    Yes, if you’re looking to save money on fuel and would like a car that produces fewer emissions. For expert, impartial advice, please contact our Suzuki Bilston or Cannock showroom team today.

    How does an electric car work?

    Close

    Electric cars rely solely on electrical power which is provided by a motor that’s energised by a battery (which requires manual charging).

    How does a hybrid car work?

    Close

    Hybrid cars are fitted with a combustion engine which is supported by an electric motor. The latter is powered by a self-charging battery. This fuel-electric set-up facilitates enhanced efficiency and instant torque, among other things.

    Are electrified cars better for the environment?

    Close

    Yes. The Suzuki Across PHEV, for instance, returns as much as 282mpg.
