Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review: - The reviewer typically tries to see vehicles from a target audience point of view, but this one was specifically for herself as target audience. - The reviewer couldn't get on with the petrol version; it felt too cheap. - The reviewer liked the exterior styling but disliked the interior and powertrain. The manual felt underpowered, not nice to drive. - The E-Hybrid version has a 1.2-liter petrol turbo engine with a 48V hybrid system. The setup includes a 0.9 kWh lithium-ion battery, paired with a 21 kW motor and a 48V belt starter, and a new double-clutch six-speed transmission (only option available for E-Hybrid). - This provides for 127 brake horsepower and 151 lb-ft torque for the E-Hybrid. It runs 0-62 in 10.9 seconds. - The E-Boost feature adds 40 lb-ft of torque. - Power is directed to the front wheels, just like the electric and petrol models. - You can travel 1 km (0.6 miles) on electric only. - Weighing at 1280 kg, E-Hybrid is only slightly heavier. Increased fuel economy to about 57.6 mpg. - Handles pretty well with body roll kept in check and lots of grip through front wheels. Is OK driving and steering wise; Ford Puma is more enjoyable. - The cheaper petrol starts under 24,500 British pounds. The E-Hybrid will cost an additional 1,636 pounds and will be worth it if you upgrade to the higher levels with the plusher interiors. - You will save 20% in fuel with the E-Hybrid over the petrol. - The "Jeep tweaks," also called Easter Eggs, are what make the car. For instance, side has "Avenger" badge, windshield has the Jeep Boy with the telescope. - Space is less than the other jeeps, about 320 liters (11.3 cu ft). - Higher spec has performance LED headlights and larger 18 inch wheels, which reviewer likes, with Jeep badge. - "To go or not to go" for the car depends on whether or not you want a premium drive and interior, then get the higher e-hybrid; plus it has Easter eggs.
