My assessment of pure mode is
- the threshold for which the engine comes on is a bit higher
- air con is turned down
If you’re cutting around in hybrid mode it will use the battery just as much in real world terms.
I tend to drive around in hybrid mode as I find the air con isn’t enough for me in pure mode. Except for this time of year when I drive around with the sun Roof open and in pure mode as tbh I would rather the engine didn’t come on and saved the fuel stopping and starting around town.
