🔁 Can a hybrid vehicle even offer electric vehicle-level POWER?

Answer: Yes now!

Chinese manufacturer Geely announced that its engine, which it introduced last week, has reached a Guinness-approved fuel consumption value!

👉 Geely’s next-generation i-HEV system:

230 kW electric motor power*
3 Litres/100 km consumption (WLTP)
Up to 80% electrically assisted driving
It offers a thermal efficiency of 48.4%.

This shows that the HYBRID view can now move to a completely different level on the customer side.

* 230kW motor in the i-HEV System;

🚘has approximately 4 times more powerful than Turkey’s best-selling “Hybrid Vehicle Model” TOYOTA Hybrid having 70kW engine!

🚘 is more powerful than our country’s best-selling “Electric Vehicle Model” TOGG T10X RWD (@ first quarter of 2026) having 160kW engine!

⚠️ Analysis of the Agency

• With the introduction of high-electricity rate hybrid technologies such as Geely i-HEV, which are not yet available in our country : The preference for hybrids is expected to become stronger.

• This development makes the perception of range and charging dependence, which is the weakest point of electric vehicles, more visible.

• The electric transformation in Turkey is not progressing in the form of a direct transition. Hybrid is the main carrier of this transformation , not the transition .

👉 Consequences:
This strengthening of the hybrid could suppress demand for electric vehicles in the short term.

Could the Hybrid vs Electric competition be just beginning?
