That should complete Franco's bingo card for the thread, going off topic.

When Toyota decides all their Hilux's will be hybrid, we'll see a huge jump in hybrids again. For the rest of the year, I'm willing to wager that hybrid numbers continue to grow like crazy based on Toyota alone and their change in strategy. And the comparison to this time last year will (month by month) will look like people have gone all in on hybrids whilst it's just Toyota purchases where consumers can't option anything but a hybrid.

I'm somewhat interested in the new Suzuki Swift hybrid even though it's the latest thing ever
12V 'hybrid' with a 3KW electric motor, that's why it costs cents in the dollar because it's a joke ![]() It's the first time that segment has had someone introduce a new technology to it in the last 20 years |

Swift hybrid has a 1.2L, 61kw/112nm.
Don't think the electric motor is doing much...

I feel Suzuki would have been better served by just using their 1.4L 'boosterjet' engine across the entire range rather than dealing with the complexity of introducing the world's most useless electric motor |
