Model Year 24/25 Formentor PHEV

Apologies if this has been asked before but I'm thinking about getting the new Formentor and was wondering up to what speed roughly it'll just run off the battery (assuming its charged) before engine kicks in as I do lots of A road driving?

HI,

It will stay in electric mode until you put it into hybrid mode or sport mode or higher.

Thanks for confirming @koush as I went into a dealer earlier today and they told me engine would kick in at about 40mph. I was fairly sure this wasn't correct so wanted to double check.

I have seen on YouTube on the face lift models that I have seen them up to 70MPH in pure electric but the battery does go down fast.
the lower the speed the more miles.
I think the dealers where referring to the hybrid part of driving as in comfort , performance or cupra the engine will kick in when you put your foot down but there is a setting as pure electric have a look on YouTube

I read way back sometime it’ll stay in EV until 85mph, but have never tried it because of course that would be illegal in the UK.
