The CUPRA Formentor e-HYBRID always starts in all-electric mode (when the battery is sufficiently charged). The drive switches to Hybrid mode if the energy capability of the battery drops below a certain level or if the speed rises above 140 km/h.

In Hybrid mode, there are two sub-modes: Hybrid-Auto and Hybrid-Manual. Hybrid-Auto is the default setting and automatically manages the powertrain to optimise the battery charge. In Hybrid-Manual mode users can chose from three options:

1) A hold mode that maintains the battery’s current state of charge

2) Reserve the state of charge in percentage

3) Charge function that will increase the state of charge through the combustion engine.

When the battery is running low, the powertrain switches back to hybrid mode. Once you’re near a power source, the battery can be plugged in and replenished in as little as 3 hours and 40 minutes using a 3.6kW charger (Wallbox), or little less than 5 hours using a 2.3kW charger.
