That just sounds pathetic.

That's completely irrelevant. This is a PHEV, not a BEV.
The range of the Model X is much higher because that's literally the range of the car. The "range" of this car is easily more than the Model X.
You can't compare the "total" range of one car with the "electric-only" range of another. |
For this battery size, the actual useable range is super pathetic. |
In Europe people, including me, drive these cars for tax benefit not for the environment or to save fuel. The tax difference with a 40i or 30d is huge. The extra power and silent drive through town are extra benefits. I like to drive this car.
Environmental friendly would be to leave the car at home and take the bike. And don't buy an SUV but a small car.
Saving fuel and money only really works when you charge as much as possible and if you have free electricity by solar panels on your roof.
Same can be said for full electric cars. The CO2 footprint for production of the car and electricity could even be worse than with a small Diesel engine.
