How much fuel does Kia XCeed PHEV use? 

The fuel filling process was hilarious.

You are in Norway with a very good network charging station whatever pure EV car you drive. In France, for non Tesla driver, it is just a nightmare for long distance trip, almost no fast charger or supercharger stations on highways. For your daily drive, it is not an issue if you can charge at home or at work. Love your channel.

The fuel pump had handshake problem 🤣

The fuel economy isn't that impressive actually, many fossil only cars can achieve these numbers, even better.

Some day people will look at diesel spills the same way we look at horse manure in the road today

Hey Bjoern, how many kilometers did you drive this year?. Must be a new record - you are amazing in what you are doing for electric mobility. Thank you very much.

Bmw 5 Series. 520d. Stage 1. (225hp) 4.6l/100km. At 120-130km/h For me it seems that most of hibrid vehicles are not that cheap to run ! I

Next time when you're getting gas please calculate the pump's charging speed in kW based on the energy that a liter of gasoline has. That's gonna be interesting. 😁

"I feel like peeing soon, but have plenty of fuel in the tank" Ohh please Bjørn, don't pee in the fuel tank! *LOL* Great video, as always :D

Plug-ins are good for 1 type of people only: if you live in a city and do only about 40km of daily driving, you can just charge it at night on a regular plug. For any other type of customer depending on where you live, a full ev, regular hybrid or ICE is the better choice.

10-20 mins messing about at the fuel pump seems ok for almost 700km range 🤷‍♂️

Being used to EUR, the gas pump was giving me soo much anxiety with the fast-rising numbers 😬

Firstly, great video, I have just ordered my Xceed and watched your video twice for information as part of my research. One thing I found is that a PHEV type car is pointless if you are making long trips, using motorways a lot, because it will use mostly the petrol engine and though decent in that regard, as you showed yourself, it is not the best. Where this type of car excels, and this is why I choose the Xceed, is the ultra-urban trips, in and out of town where you use the electric drive more often, benefit from the slow self-charging from the wheels and of course, most importantly, the free charging points in shopping areas. And with a PHEV, plug it in!!! Thanks

Wonder how a Mercedes A250e, which can charge faster would do in this test?

Julebrus är det samma som julmust i sverige?😎 Intressant film,fina miljöer,Norge är vackert👍tack

Try the Mercedes GLE 350de, it has a small ish Diesel engine combined with a plug-in hybrid system with 100km range. It supports 60kW DC charging as well. I think that you should be able to get good fuel economy figures out of it!

And people are complaining about plug type chaos. An there are more kinds of fossil. There is also CNG and LPG.

How many banana boxes are fitting in to the Kia?

bjorn you are super! i like you and your crazy test!

What was that code again? I have forgotten it already😬

Very interesting video to balance between choosing plugin or pure electric vehicle. Thanks.

The mitsubishi outlander phev has chademo fast charging

The maximize bathroom stops wear an adult diaper :)

If you drove let's say 60km on electricity, then the number comes to 6l/100km in normal hybrid mode. That's the same as the mild hybrid version. So seems like the advantage of the big battery disappears as soon as the charge runs out. Is that correct Or am I mistaken?

Is it enough powerful (105hp) when the battery is empty, especially for a family trip (3 or 4 persons with luggage)? Thx in advance.

What you film really canon well filmed Björn I like your videos will soon buy kia plugin hybrid myself in sweden thanks for your videos

Maybe non-Norwegian viewers don't know what "being sunnmøring" means. Sunnmøre is an area of Norway around Ålesund where the people are "known" to be stingy, as with Scottish people. Or economically aware or clever moneywise as I would call it, as half a sunnmøring myself. Also "know" to be enterprising and entrepreneurial peoples. As the myth goes. They will however drown if they fall off their normally very large fishing boats at sea as they swim in a raking in style (hence rich) with their hands instead of moving hands outwards as normal people would swim.

That’s actually great fuel economy.

Yes, when there is a diesel spill on the grounds of the pump and you step in it.. it's very slippery on your pedals (brakes!!) It takes ages to "disappears" and fingers smells for ages -why I use plastic gloves.

Too funny, got a COLGATE ad at the start 🦷

PHEV saving on fuel is a myth busted. My old Volvo V50 1.8 back in 2010 used to consume the same amount of gasoline on highways in long distance.

now the us gas prices are gonna be $5 a gallon with joe biden in offfice so more people are going to use ev!

Norway seems to be a very nice and quiet country to live in, with a very high commitment in environment preservation! My next stay will be there!

I have been passing or parked near charging points for two years now paying great attention to what cars are charging as part of deciding which EV id like to buy. I have only ever seen one PHEV take the time to charge Just one. I also have a few friends with them and all admit they don't bother saying charging is to slow on their ones. That's just my experience if it. This along with multiple studies showing that phevs emit more co2 than claimed. I think they have had their day. just go full electric. far better. Great Vid Bjorn.

I need help! At 6:55 you can see that you have 0km left on electric driving but the battery has got 12 % left. Why is this? I bought Xceed yesterday and on this low percentage, it wont let me drive on electric. Why is that? Is it a setting? Can't find the answerd anywhere...

Very good review, thanks. 154 kg heavier than the diesel XCeed, 262 kg heavier than the lightest petrol XCeed.. 117 kg onboard battery (in the XCeed plug-in hybrid). I think that Kia is doing something right producing plugin hybrids that shows decently low petrol consumption in hybrid mode on longer trips. Getting more curious how other plug-in hybrid would match the XCeed in same test.

Holy shiiiiiiiiiit! Love it!

Congratulations on 200k subs!

I always try to charge my PHEV where possible, even if it takes a little walk.

"I want to drive to Stavanger today". Been there, done that. In a Tesla loaner :)

I nästa liv ska jag bli norrman. Älskar Norge. Bra video. Ska åka och titta på en Xceed plugin hybrid 2021 imorgon. :)

0:56 That is CCS-dino v0.1 protocol 😅

Good video with a lot of dedication as always! Nice one Björn!

Happy im not living in Norway, horrible place boring, Copenhagen so much better.

a Plug Hybrid car is not ment to do what you did.

My parrents just got the new Mercedes B250e and it charges with 7.4 kW 16A on two phases

Is it powerfull enough to maintain 130km/h even in rises when the batterie is like 8% ? Not understand everything with thé sport mod at 125kmh, it does not recharge the batterie ? so How do you regen from 10% to 40% ? Thx

Driving EV cars in Portugal is not a solution if you need to do a long trip. And even Tesla have to struggle a little. A good PHEV may be the solution, although I’m not sure that, in a long trip, it would help lower consumption. I have a Volvo V60 T6 with 310 hp and, at legal speed, I could drive 600 kms before I have to fill up again. I driven a Volvo v60 T8 (PHEV) and the range, on the same long trip was the same.

Volvo XC90, 5 people, fully loaded with vacation gear, driving in summer with AC on = 85 Liter Diesel for 1.100 km. This averages 7,7 Liter per 100. One stop for refueling. I ordered a Kia Ceed SW PHEV now. What already annoys me is the slow charging with 3.4kw max. Paired with a 37 Liter tank sucks. But the lease rate is 200 Euro only, including Service & Maintenance.

great personality and video!

You bought a 5 NOK HotDog? That's just over EUR 0.50. !! Man, I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be eating a 50c hotdog! Looked good, though!

Did you know gasoline is one of the few prices where Norway is cheaper than The Netherlands? You pay about 1.25 euro per liter when you said it was expensive. We pay 1.55 euro to 1.75 euro per liter...

why are the roads there so empty? Nobody is driving?

Hi Bjørn,thanks for your Videos and especially this. Comparison with eNiro is very helpful. Long time ago i Test drove a model s and EQC. Tesla did not convince me finally due to poor build quality and noise on higher speeds. EQC i do not want to spend that much money. Looked for an mercedes c or e class as hybrid. More quiet but still expensive and no full electric. So i am finally in the area of Kia ceed, xceed as PHEV and eNiro. Difficult to decide, eNiro might win.

05:50 no, not only friction brakes, then they would get very hot. They use the engine to brake.

Did you bring a nail to lock the handle so it fills while you clean the windows? Once upon a time there were catches to half speed and full speed fill. Then one day about 20 years ago the catches were removed and there were little holes where the dates were. Nail did the trick.

Pretty much the same cost per km, good choice to buy this PHEV for driving electric in the city or commuting to work and fossil to long trips. BTW what is the name of the B roll track on 12:00 and 14:30 and where can i find it to dl.

Nice. I like the look of the car and I bet it's a nice package, but I wish it had a little more grunt for 1.6l. I hope you'll test some of the VAG PHEVs like the Golf 8 GTE or the Seat Leon eHybrid that's being launched now.. I'm looking towards those for the 200+ HP

Fossile cars are to expensive and fuel will only be more expensive

not working cause petrol station love only old smoking cars !! and yours is too clean and new !|! ; )

Diesel pumps can lock the trigger on place in Norway. But supposedly not with gasoline.

Good intro. I had that same nasty smell on my hands after driving last 3 months on my MS 70D but had to tank winter diesel to not freeze my ICE car. And btw my ICE car is an 15 year old Renault Megane and has the same average fuel consumption as that PHEV. With city drives included!

this video is nothing special for a plug in hibrid !! couse, a regular kia niro, without plug in, can drive over 1000 km with one full tank. In fact, even 1100 km! and the regulat hibrids are much cheaper than plug in ones !

I’m not really sold as of yet on an EV for long trips but for around town daily driving absolutely. For example my current car, VW Jetta 2019 1.4t will get 4.7 l/100km even with an average speed of 125 km/h for an entire tank, but during COVID driving strictly short distance for 3 tanks I’ve only been able to achieve 8.6 l/100km even with conservative shifting at 2k rpm. My plan is to get the ID4 as my next daily driver once available and save the current car as a backup and for long trips only. I think a hybrid like this is the worst possible combination, it has all the complexity of an ICE engine combined with electric added on, I’ll stick to my 6 speed manual and a pure electric later.

If someone want to drive Electric, need All weel drive and a trailer hitch, dont't want to pay that much for eTron, EQC or iPace and his dayli driving profile matches to a distance of 50km the answer is Outlander PHEV. Otherwise buy a full electric car like eNiro.

Yep, Nasty.

In a gas only car going downhill, you can use lower gear and engine braking instead of friction brakes to slow down. Steep downhills might need friction brakes though.

What is your opinion on hydrogen cars? better or worse than an electric cars? more, less or equal pollutant?

Magari se viene caricata più spesso i consumi sarebbero migliori........

Is he Singapore or Chinese?

👍

incredible the range you get from such a small fuel tank

instant subscribe, really lovely

thumbs down for the profanity.

Wow i cant believe diesel is cheaper than petrol in norway its the opposite in the uk

🤣

PHEV cars are just for manufactures to gain more money from those people, who haven't tried EV, but are afraid of it (range anxiety), so they see the PHEV as a best way for them. Also in many countries PHEV with their co2 < 49g/100km have/had the same or some incentives as EVs and many company cars in Netherlands and UK have chosen them as the best options (e.g., Outlander PHEVs are very popular)

Which religion is you

It's naaaaasty 😂👍

Very informative 👌

Opel Astra - 5.8l/100km at 130km/h

Too expensive

200000

Please more PHEV videos!

For a long distance driving phevs are a joke .Get similar number on my old Renault sport tourer petrol with 5 people on bord,summer (14c)

That has doubled your refuelling time from 5 to 10 mins.

Waat?? You have cheaper gasoline in Norway than in Finland?? Your government should put up more tax on gasoline and diesel. Yes!! Taxing for the win!!

Hi, I have a KIA CEED PHEV 2022. I'm very disappointed how the hybrid system works. If it low temperature outside (below 10 C) then the petrol engine always starts if the so if im driving under 10km it never runs purly on electricity. Or if the AC is runing the petrol engien starts. So the petrol enginen is always running when heating or cooling... My advise, dont buy a KIA

Om du syntes 13.69 er dyrt bor du ikke i Bergen! Gleder meg såååååånn til jeg kan bytte ut Avensisen med en Tesla, selv om jeg er glad i Toyotaen :)

With the Prius PHEV you will get 4,5 l/100 km. It's the most efficient car of its class.

Going to camping holidays with the Skoda Octavia combi, I need 4.4ltr/100km of diesel for the 1150km highway trip while sticking to the 130kph speed limit. With a family of four, full to the ceiling of the trunk, and the bicycles attached to the back. This PHEV with 5.5litr of E95, sitting alone at 90km/h, what's the point ?

Hi, any plans to test the MG HS PHEV? Thanks

Don't use phone while filling petrol ESD can cause fire🔥
