TwinDrive: the Volkswagen group, this term refers to a plug-in hybrid technology. It is found today in Seat Leon on a prototype that does not lack interest.
The hybrid in Seat? For now, it's a technology reserved for studies of style, as the IBL orIBX. But the Spanish brand has well equip its production models, as demonstrated by the presentation of a TwinDrive Leon. Although it is still in the prototype and model-basedlate-career, this variant appears instructive. The tuners should indeed be on the third generation of the compact Iberian by 2015. Rechargeable in the sector, it has a range of 52 km in electric mode. In this case, speed is limited to 120 km / h and power does not exceed 115 hp. It will help block the 1.4 TSI 115 hp gasoline it increases to 170 km / h and reaches 163 hp combined.
The Leon TwinDrive simply two electric motors on the front, while the Golf of the same name (see our test) possessed three, including two integrated into the rear wheels. A simplification that allows in particular to reduce costs and non suspendues.Tout massesby claiming that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions average particularly low: respectively 1.7 l/100km and 39 g / km. Numbers to qualify seriously, because they benefit from a particularly favorable approval cycle for plug-in hybrid. In normal operation, it would be better to rely on 5.9 l/100 km, enough anyway to get a total range of 900 km.
