Nice indeed! But also do take in account that the ICE does not work 38.5% thermal efficiency at all loads...
It is alll about price and "value for money". Outlander base model 2.4 seats 7 and costs 11kUSD less. In the PHV we can only seat 5.
Very surprising results on FE in that video. Outlander 54km AER, in a 70km loop home-work, gets the same as the RAV4? Can't imagine how.
Honda Clarity, perhaps? :D
Can we please get back to the topic? Thank you.
Passat, Golf, both 1.4. Mercedes A, B, both 1.3. Downsizing has been done in these examples. Remember that the first engine in the Volt concept...
It does not fit in the practical reason why Mitsubishi and Chevrolet went from Otto to Atkinson... Some of us still remember that the best fuel...
Of course, we have to change house before buying a new car. :rolleyes:
I'm sure you know the narrow band/area where an Otto gets best BSFC, and how broad is an Atkinson. Peak efficiency doesn't mean usable good...
The only other PHEV with Atkinson besides Toyota and Hyundai/Kia (Optima isn't) is that Mitsubishi. All others: Volvo, Mercedes, BMW, Audi,...
Many plug-in hybrids have a common Otto engine, when not plugged in they are almost tradicional ICEs. Only the regen braking is a step forward,...
What if one has no plug?
Who's Jack? :D
https://www.motorreviewer.com/engine.php?engine_id=127 The 2.5L engine has CR of 13.0:1 Otto and 14:1 Atkinson.
Recently I made a trip with the Prius+ (v in USA) holding 80-85MPH and with my OBD II I've seen the transaxle reaching 115ºC (240ºF). To tow...
Do take in account that the Otto compression limit (knock trouble) is a bit lower than the Atkinson practical limit...
Less gas in, the higher the mileage? :D
Yes, and also a increase in efficiency.

140k and counting, been hearing it since 30k (more or less). No measures taken... "If it works don't touch it."
