Fiat has introduced the Tipo and 500X with a new hybrid drive

After Jeep Renegade and Compass received the same drive, the related Fiat also presents its compact full-hybrids. This designation of the intermediate stage of hybrid electrification means that the car can run short sections on electricity, but the battery cannot be recharged from the mains.

The combustion part of the drive is a petrol supercharged 15-liter engine with an output of 96 kilowatts, 130 hp and a torque of 240 newton meters. It works in the economical Miller combustion cycle and cooperates with a new seven-stage two-clutch cabinet.

The electrical part is represented by a 48V electric motor with an output of 15 kW and a torque of 55 Nm, up to 135 Nm at the input to the gearbox. According to the WLTP methodology, the internal combustion engine can be switched off in the combined cycle up to 47 percent of the time, in city traffic even 62 percent.

The advantage compared to purely petrol variants is therefore, of course, to be lower fuel consumption. That’s up to 11 percent compared to the standard 13th. The hybrid tipo is to consume 4.7 l / 100 km in the city cycle, the 500X Hybrid by 4 tenths more.

A new drive can be ordered in February, Czech prices are not yet known.
