Pity they are both about 2000kg.Think you will find that VW HQ are putting their faith in Cupra and a Sporty EV Hatchback might be appearing in Aus sometime this year.
But I've got to say, you need a lot of combustion engine to match the torque these new hybrids can deliver. I've driven a few hybrids recently and I'm shocked by the get up and go they have given the low fuel consumption, I can't see any option for the likes of Golf or Renault but to head down that hybrid road.
Hopefully Renault dont enter the EV/Hybrid race, we got enough rubbish on the road as is although they did increase their sales numbers this year by around 25%. Being a member of the Ateco group doesnt fill me with a lot of hope either...
