Limited additional cost with Dacia

Generally speaking, a self-charging hybrid vehicle is more expensive to buy than an equivalent internal combustion-powered model, due to its dual powertrain and the cost of the technology used.

At Dacia, this additional cost is included in the purchase price and may help reduce running costs over time, depending on vehicle use and driving conditions.

Potential savings

The running costs of a hybrid vehicle is generally lower than that of a conventional combustion-powered vehicle, although they depend on a number of factors.

Here are some main points to consider:

lower fuel consumption than a combustion-powered vehicle, particularly in urban driving
no external charging costs, since the battery is charged while driving
reduced brake wear due to regenerative braking

savings on fuel

money‑saving tips

Use regenerative braking

Use engine braking rather than the brake pedal to charge the battery.

Anticipate slowing down to maximise energy recovery.

Drive smoothly

Drive at less than 30 mph to stay in electric mode as long as possible.

Maintain a steady speed: hybrid cars are optimised for smooth driving.

Use ECO mode

Activate Eco mode to limit power and optimise consumption.

Reduce the use of air conditioning and heating (high impact on the battery).
