I was pretty curious about hybrid car when I was planning to buy my car. Because I usually drive on highway and at least more than 500km every week, I couldn’t help considering its fuel efficiency. But I didn’t buy it because many people worried about some problems, fuel efficiency, access and costs to repair, and reliabilities of the advertisements. Although we have already talked this at the presentation, I want to say about more practical fuel efficiency.
Recently, there are several Korean hybrid cars in sales such as Sonata, K5 and Porte. Many people are using these cars paying much more than normal car. But the customers are not satisfied its fuel efficiency. It’s quite different from the advertisements. It’s true that the Korean hybrid car has more efficient mileages but it’s not much. Moreover, the company just insists the fuel efficiency could be different from how people drive. To tell the truth, they are right.
But the problem is the efficiency can’t be true in real driving. Moreover, research and news article shows that Korean hybrid cars have got lower fuel efficiency than overseas diesel sedan like BMW and Volkswagen. For example, the official fuel efficiency of Avante Hybrid LPi and BMW 320d are same as 17.8km/l. Does it really same? Absolutely not…
What I’m saying is Korean hybrid car might be premature yet. They are just busy selling cars with exaggerated advertisement, not enough engineers to repair hybrid car and high costs in purchase and repair caused by technical faults. Hybrid system will make our lives better but it’s not this time. The techniques should be more developed in order to be practical.
