What is the share of rechargeable hybrids for each available model ?
- Inovev calculated the share of models sold in Europe in 2016 in a plug-in hybrid version, for those available in both a plug-in hybrid and a 100% thermal version.
- Inovev thus listed 20 models that were available in Europe in 2016 with at least these two types of engines.
- The share of sales of plug-in hybrids for these 20 models varies from 1% for the Mercedes E-Class (the mid-year plug-in hybrid version) to 56% for the Mitsubishi Outlander, the most “hybridised“ vehicle . The average for all of these twenty models is 6%.
- Models that have a share of rechargeable hybrid sales greater than 6% are Volvo XC90 (28%), Porsche Panamera (19%), Porsche Cayenne (17%), BMW X5 (15%), Volvo S60/V60 (8%), Kia Optima (8%), VW Passat (7%) and BMW 7 Series (7%). This shows that hybridization is strong on high-end models and particularly on high-end SUVs (XC90, Cayenne, X5, Q7). It is in this segment that the bulk of the customer base of the rechargeable hybrids is located.
- Inovev accounted for a total of 107,000 plug-in hybrids in Europe in 2016, for models available in 100% thermal version, plus 6,000 sales of plug-in hybrids available only with this type of engine or with a non-rechargeable hybrid version (mainly Toyota Prius).
