As with any PHEV, the usefulness and effectiveness of the hybrid setup will come down to your individual needs and behaviour. If this is a school run and short commute car that also has to double up for occasional long journeys, it’s pretty good. EV mode works well and the “battery save” with set levels of six or 12 miles or “max” is useful if you want to use zero-emissions running at particular times - in town, for example. If you have regular access to a charger you could go a very long time between fuel stops.
