I had assumed that 45e would be more reliable.
Yes there are more components to hybrids but electric systems (motor, regen braking) lessens the burden of mechanical parts, which are much more prone to failure than electronics.
Plus, my understanding is that the engine is detuned so it runs less harder than ICE version and I heard that the it also had some reinforcement to help with warming up process at cold start.

But I guess I'm talking more about long term reliability than short one.
Curious to see the poll!
