The SEAT Leon e-HYBRID - distances of more than 60 kilometers - automatic hybrid mode

If several longer distances are combined and the capacity of the battery is thereby exceeded, the hybrid mode is required. In this case, the electric motor is no longer the standard drive and it is best to enter the route into the navigation system so that the vehicle can always determine the optimum driving mode. " In automatic hybrid mode, the vehicle can manage the use of battery capacity with the help of the navigation system. Thus, in city traffic, only the electric motor is used, but on the highway sections it becomes the secondary drive. The aim is to make optimum use of the electric drive and to reach the next charging point with an empty battery," explains Lux. For more complex routes with intermediate stops, the "Intelligent Hybrid" function determines which drive is used.
