It’s a good motorway cruiser or at least I think so and I frequently get 42 - 46 miles per gallon with just one charge and preconditioning before the start of the journey. This is largely motorways and A roads. My Volvo on Call reports my overall mpg at 100 mpg over all journeys.
Pure electric mode and a fully charged battery provides 22-24 miles in summer and 16-18 in winter.
Battery could do with being bigger, boot space obviously not the same as the ICE version and turning circle ain’t great.
Hope that helps

In your ownership have you seen a reduction in battery output since new, as this a concern when buying a hybrid that already 4-5yrs old?
