“Stop and go” is standard fair on all Hybrid cars. So this is a tested tech and nothing new.

The “not full hybrids” (Full hybrids would be like the Prius that can run on battery alone) like the Honda IMA uses this for on engine deactivation when the car is at the stop and uses the IMA motor to start the car once a gear is selected.

I expected a little more than the 3.9L per 100km after all that extra work is done. I remember that VW’s 1.9TDi Golf was running somethign like 4.6L/100km dispite being 300cc larger and one generation earlier.

Diesels are very economical. Expect to see about 20-30% better fuel consumption than the equivalent sized petrol engine. This is because of the energy content of diesel is higher per gram than petrol, and the higher efficiency of the engine.

“fuel consumption is now just 3.9 liters for every 100km travelled”

Wow, thats nice, now only i realized modern diesel is so economic! Sadly in Malaysia we only have our current dirty diesel, put it in this car’s engine, the diesel will kill it!!

Very clean undercarriage. I like the overall shape too..but will look better in black…lolz I’d like to see what the Stop & Go system is all about. sounds interesting, but seems a little iffy in practice.
