How the B10 Hybrid EV powertrain works

This is an extended-range electric vehicle, not a conventional hybrid.

The electric motor always drives the rear wheels while the 1.5-litre petrol engine works purely as a generator to top up the battery. It never powers the wheels directly, much like Nissan's e-Power setup.

An 18.8kWh LFP battery delivers up to 84km of electric range on the WLTP cycle, enough for most daily commutes on electrons alone. Add the 50-litre fuel tank and combined range stretches to 900km, with claimed fuel use of just 0.9L/100km. Four drive modes (EV+, EV, Fuel and Power+) let you favour electric running or outright performance. DC fast charging peaks at 46kW for a 30 to 80% top-up in about 20 minutes.

Specs and performance

Rear-wheel drive and multi-link rear suspension are rare at this end of the market, and the chassis was tuned by the Stellantis Chassis Master Team. The B10 Hybrid EV is the only extended-range electric SUV in its class on sale here, setting it apart from electric rivals like the BYD Atto 2 and MG S5 EV.

Standard equipment

The Style comes with:

• 18-inch alloy wheels and automatic LED headlights
• Fixed panoramic glass roof with power sunshade
• 8.8-inch driver display and 14.6-inch touchscreen
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus wireless charging
• Surround-view camera, integrated 360-degree dashcam and rear parking sensors

• Multi-colour ambient lighting, LED rear light bar and Hankook iON evo tyres

For buyers who want EV running around town without range anxiety on a road trip, the B10 Hybrid EV makes a strong case, and it does not cost a cent more than the electric version.
