Has anyone tested how the hybrid mode works on a long journey?

 

Does it manage the battery so that you reach the destination empty (if you use navigation).

I normally set mine to hybrid / manual on a long journey and get about 46mpg you can always switch to electric for the last bit to improve that but I don’t like the car with no battery left, it may be a perception but it seems much smoother with

Octavia vrs iV hatch. 52 mpg for 150 mile journey from Pompey to Stourbridge. Hybrid manually set to around 50 percent after a full charge at home. Around town for a week on electric and then a trip to Stourbridge gives me 65 mpg.
