Thanks !

Underpressure in the tires certainly does not help friction, not in the summer, not in the winter. And there is much bigger risk of aquaplanning, because of the grooves changed shape and size due to underinflation. Tires are designed to work best at a certain pressure, and too little or too much makes them underperform. Also where is the fun in the snow? I only see some slow city driving in slush..

My no work how change ?

Thank you for your very informative video, you too also have a great day....

a yaris gets 2.5 l/100km 😕

Very recently had the choice between the Golf R and the Golf GTE. Im so glad i choose the Golf R. I will happily pay more for fuel and tax just for that facemelting 0-60 and the DSG farts. The GTE is more economic to run but you wont have the same smile on your face thinking about how much money you safe than the smile i have pushing the Engine Start button.

2019 vw atlas. Just last week on I-85 the frontal accident avoidance system definately saved us from a collision. We've had the car 5 years. This is the first time it activated and it worked flawlessly. I always thought that would just mitigate an accident but this saved us for sure. We know full well to get the big picture and always drive way ahead of us to avoid an accordian effect of hard stops. This was heavy traffic and we'll never know what happened ahead of us but it was a classic accordian caused probably by someone ahead not keeping a safe following distance. One vehicle two spots ahead of us dove for the left brakedown lane (a heads up move), the car ahead slammed the brakes and our Atas jumped into action saving us from a total wreck. I'm a believer.

He drove 8km with a 14+\- consuption and gained 10km of range thats amazing

Thanks

Less than 1 mile is 0.9 miles, it can’t display 0.9 just like it can’t display 1.9. Pretty simple really

As @Baranoeda pointed " If you drove 12 km with an increase of 5 liter/100 km that is 0.6 liter as already pointed out by some. Its like magic! That is 0.6 liter to gain 10 kilometer electric range" That means if you take 1.6 euro for a liter of petrol and multiply it by 0.6 liters you get 0.96 euro per 10km, half what it costs at the charger, plus you warm up your oil/cat faster

You must not charge in the city. Of course the consumption will be high. I have passat GTE and on battery hold it has 7l/100km consumption without charging from plug. And if I charge on the highway, it consumes 8,5l/100km. And the battery is fully charged in 80km or so. So I can charge full battery for less than 1,5 litres of gas, which is 3 euro. And charging at home costs 2 euros, and charging at station costs 6 euros. So the charge mode is quite cheap if you use it smart. If I charge on the highway and then drive on EV in the city, I get around 5-6l/ combined consumption. If I charge at home and drive on hybrid I get 2-3l/100km. Or 0l only on EV, but thats only 30-40km range.

A Golf with a 1.0 tsi engine is consuming less. Whats wrong with GTE?

Definitely not 1 pedal driving, it is useful but. The reg doesn't stop the car like a Tesla

Good vid,good info😊 i have a question. How about battery degradation? Lets say i want to buy a 2014/15 gte with 200.000 km on the odo. Is it a no go or? Thx all👍

No B mode, but i know what it does.

Can you help, I test drove a Hatchback GTE, and it has the button for Lane Assist, but when I press it. The only option that comes up is Front Assist. I assumed that every car that has that button comes with Lane Assist. Is the hardware there and maybe locked by VW or does it need the front camera etc?

it is a very good feature to ensure that the ICE operates throughtout a certain time and does not have to start & stop too often. this is important for example to reach operation conditions where the engine oil can sufficiently regenerate.

I have the gte 7.5 in Hybrid it should consume less? On high way and express ways. Or is on highway gte mode thesame consume als "hybrid"? In reality on highway you drive too fast for hybride, so it is the 1.4

You can do thesame bu driving in MANUEL? 🤷‍♂️ You just flip back in lower gear. Or is B a better way? Ps: ik spreek Nederlands 😉

Great video thank you

Great videos! Question: is driving in B mode more efficient then D mode? Meaning the battery will last longer? Does it depend on where its used? inner city or highway? Would be very interessting to see the different in battery consumption/regeneration between the two modes. Keep it up!

How much does it cost to plug it in at home and do a full charge please?

Thanks. Ive always liked that feature on my BMW E46 and was looking for it on my new GTE

I just bought a gte 2015 with 170k km but I charged it yesterday and it only says 30km range is that a problem or is it because of the weather it’s colder right now in holland?

how do you put it in B mode ?

Thinking about buying one within 2 weeks, i love your videos, 1 question.. What is the best mode to drive in the highway in the Netherlands?

For the 10km charge to cost 8Euro, you would've had to drive 100KM, because you said your gas consumption increased by 5L per 100km. Did you drive 100km to get those 10km of batery range? I highly doubt it. You drove for 18min, in the city, with a lets say a generous 50kph average speed, so you covered around 15km. If for 100km you'd use up 5L more gas (14 vs 9), then for those 15km you used 0.75L more gas than average. At your stated price of 1.6E, that means it cost you 1.2Euro in gas to charge those 10Km of battery range. Thats slightly above double what the electric current costs you. Nowhere near your 20times. Also, 18min to get 10km of battery is probably half as much time as it would take if you plugged in. Twice as fast for double the price.

You literally parked on the grandma eye closed spot. Next time pick a bit more challenging spot or decent at least in midd two cars.

I have a Golf Gte 2019 now. What is the best mode to drive when going from the Netherlands to France?

Its a shame you cant switch between different modes without using the screen. My screen stops working everytime its cold, so only options are battery hold, GTE or eMode. I dont understand why hybrid auto isnt the standard setting instead of battery hold..

Hey goede video! Heel duidelijk! Maar ik zit met een vraag. Ik heb een GTE uit het jaar 2017. Wanneer ik de auto in battery hold mode zet. Gebruikt hij toch nog een klein beetje stroom van de accu. Ook wanneer ik op de snelweg rijdt en gaat mijn actieradius dus alsnog naar beneden. Is dit normaal?

Perfect! Thank you!

I have a GTE as well. What is the lever that we have on the rim of the trunk? (You can sort of see in the video too, Right in the back, where the trunk closes). There is a hidden black lever that you can pull upwards. What does it do?

Hello, i want to know if that GTE has android auto. I guess its the pre-facelift (before 2017) version. Thanks!

my 2018 rav4 whit a 2;5 engine have a more good fuel consumption... strange for a passat whit 1.4 engine to consume more ; no?

PHEV = Plug in hybrid vehicle

Thanks for the review. What size of rims/ tires do you have?

Hi, where can I contact you? Can you give me an email address?

this is scum video made on purpose

Hi, I have e golf 2016 when I use this feature the mirror don't go back no original position but go to another position

Would this work on a gti 2013? My side mirrors are not automatic I have to manually adjust them...

What would be the consumption on the highway at 130-140 km/h under the same circumstances?

How can i reach you via social media ? I have some questions to ask you :) Thanks !

I m interested in what are the possibilities if i have to drive about 35 to 38 km single trip to work wich is about 85% highway. Am i correct that i can do a big portion of that fully electric with the GTE ?

Can you take control over the car at anytime when lane assist is active?

Hello and thank you for the video. What is the wheel size that you have in your car ? And was it winter tires with spikes or its just M.S tires? Thanks

Does the Golf 8 have this feature?
