from an actual add up to a system performance of $135.00 kilowatts that carries the new c h r from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour and 8.2 seconds and reaches the top speed of 180 kilometers per hour. that's what this what a miner will appreciates most about this engine is its thermally efficient c today's average gasoline engine achieves about 30 percent thermal efficiency and a good diesel reaches some 35 percent but this engine operates had 40 percent or more he's impressed. at speeds under 120 kilometers per hour the c.h.r. can drive a few kilometers and fall electric power by this president personally emanuel thinks it's cool that the center console has an indicator that shows to what percent he's driven an all electric powered that is on the battery alone. he sees
4:34 am
that he's at 45 percent and that motivates him to try for even higher percentages that should be hard to go to states that in typical urban stop and go traffic this c.a.g.r. can even reach up to 80 percent on all electric drive from. the interior has kept the familiar and easy to operate cockpit layout. the c.h.r. spaciousness hasn't changed much either plenty of room in front but in back it's might be something of a tight fit for taller passengers. the trunk capacity has been reduced to 358 leaders still average for the 6. by mean for taman if you madam o.c.s. at the infotainment display has remained the same size but now the controls are
