Considering Superb Estate PHEV (2020 / 2021)

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I've recently sold my Corolla Hybrid to get something with a little more space for three kids and a lab. We do a lot of short journeys so diesels are a non-starter. I've been put off with smaller engines in large cars and was initially looking at an A4 Avant with the 2.0 TFSI but I'm thinking I could get a newer Superb with the 1.4 TSI PHEV engine and similar spec for similar or less money.

 

I've had a variety of VAG cars over the years both petrol and diesel but know nothing about the PHEV engine. Are there any common issues with the engine or the car that I should be mindful of? I also have a Tesla and Ohme Home Pro at home so I can charge it no problem but wondering on those longer trips we do, will it charge like the Toyota system does? Does the engine cut in and out on it's own as you drive? I'm assuming with 200BHP+ that it'll handle a full family with dog and luggage without an issue. I'm a licensed ham radio operator and will be doing some of this from the car, something I don't do in the Tesla due to the glass roof and it's a lease through my employer.

 

Thanks in advance for any input.
