If you own a hybrid vehicle, chances are you’re already ahead of the game when it comes to fuel efficiency and environmental responsibility. But there’s one component quietly working behind the scenes that’s essential to your smooth driving experience — the continuously variable transmission, or CVT. Unlike traditional gearboxes, a CVT doesn’t have fixed gears Read More

Coolant often gets overlooked in hybrid maintenance. It’s not as flashy as your infotainment system or as obvious as your tyres, but it plays a vital role in keeping your hybrid car cool, efficient, and reliable. If you’ve never thought about flushing your hybrid’s coolant, now’s the time to start. Hybrid cars have unique cooling Read More

We’ve all been there. You’re cruising in your hybrid when suddenly, a bright light appears on the dashboard. Panic sets in. Is the hybrid battery dying? Is the engine about to fail? Hybrid vehicles are packed with advanced systems, and these systems are incredibly sensitive — sometimes, a minor glitch or sensor misread can trigger Read More

If you drive a hybrid, you’re already tuned in to efficiency, eco-conscious choices, and clever automotive engineering. But there’s one key area that can quietly undermine all that smart design — your tyres. And when the seasons shift, your tyres need more than just a glance. Seasonal tyre changes are about far more than switching Read More

Hybrid cars are loved for their fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and seamless driving experience. But let’s not forget the heart of this modern motoring marvel—the transmission. Whether it’s an eCVT (electronic continuously variable transmission) or a dual-clutch setup, the hybrid transmission works overtime to juggle power from both the petrol engine and electric motor. And Read More

When you drive a hybrid, you’re doing more than just saving fuel — you’re embracing cutting-edge technology that works in the background to boost efficiency. One of the most impressive (and often misunderstood) systems in a hybrid car is the regenerative braking system. It doesn’t just slow your car — it recycles energy and recharges Read More

You bought a hybrid for efficiency, but maybe you’ve noticed strange behaviour when the weather shifts. On freezing mornings, your battery seems sluggish, and in a summer heatwave, your fan sounds like it’s in overdrive. Extreme weather affects more than just your comfort—it impacts your car’s performance, battery life, and even fuel economy. Hybrid cold-weather Read More

You love your hybrid for its quiet drive, smooth handling, and fuel efficiency. But like any sophisticated machine, it’s not immune to wear and tear, especially when it comes to the transmission system. Hybrids have revolutionised driving with innovative powertrains, but they also come with unique complexities. Many models use CVTs (Continuously Variable Transmissions) or Read More
