Movement energy recuperation is a modern technical element enabling the effective use of a car’s movement energy to charge the battery. The economy of operation is also increased by the gear recommendation function on the Maxi DOT display, which helps the driver make optimum use of the engine’s potential. The Start-Stop system switches on automatically after the engine starts. If a driver stops, for example at a crossroads or in a traffic jam, puts the car in neutral and releases the clutch, the engine switches off itself.After the clutch is depressed, the engine starts again. In this way, in a combined regime it is possible to save approx. 0.2 to 0.4l/100km, and in town as much as 0.3-0.9l of fuel per 100km.
Other measures are the reduced and aerodynamically covered sporty chassis and, last but not least, the use of tyres with low rolling resistance. The car’s attractive outer design is completed by, in addition to Antares light alloy wheels, a black matt foil on both B-columns of the body and the wing mirrors, as well as outer handles painted in the car’s colour. The GreenLine version is offered as standard with a DOMINO interior and instrument panel in Onyx – Onyx or Onyx – silver-grey versions.Important safety elements include the ESP system (including ABS, MSR, ASR, EDS and HBA) and the system for checking the tyre pressure; front fog lights with a DAY LIGHT function are included as standard in the accessories.
