  4. 2016 Nissan Note Hybrid, kind of hybrid and ev. Here the e-POWER system features full electric-motor drive, meaning that the wheels are completely driven by the electric motor. The power from a high-output battery is delivered to the e-POWER’s compact powertrain comprised of a 1200cc gasoline engine, power generator, inverter, and a motor. In conventional hybrid systems, a low-output electric motor is mated to a petrol engine to drive the wheels when the battery is low (or when traveling at high speeds). However, in the e-POWER system, the petrol engine is not connected to the wheels; it simply charges the battery. And unlike a full EV, the power source originates from the engine and not just the battery . Moreover according to Japanese media this car does 37kmpl but not sure whether this car will import to Sri Lanka because SL car sale people are the trendsetters in SL auto market and they believe TOYOTA IS THE BEST LOL.
  5. Hi All, I have seen this advertisement(from a famous hybrid service station) saying that it is possible to recondition/rebuild the "NiMH battery packs to perform at up to 95% of its original capacity". I called the place and got to know that, Procedure takes three days, Procedure called "Battery conditioning" and claims it's American technology, This is not cell replacement. Cost will depend on the condition of the battery(how much of the current battery can be recovered, they said) - Min cost is close to a second-hand battery pack Rebuild battery will be released with a 1-year warranty. They claim that after the rebuilding procedure it is good as brand new. Do you any of you have knowledge on this. Is it a legitimate claim and is it possible to do that? I searched the forum and couldn't find related topics. Hence decided to open a new topic.
  6. I’m planning to switch to a BMW X5. My friend recommended the plug-in hybrid saying that it is quite good. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy it from?

  9. I'm looking for fuel efficient vehicle for daily drive. I found Suzuki WagonR Hybrid does around 25-30 kmpl. But my worry is its 600cc engine. Market price is around 22-26 laks. Is it good or bad ? Give your reviews.

  11. Hi Guys, Has any one of you had any experience with the new Nissan X-trail Hybrid? I'm looking for a vehicle and I would like to know some details including fuel economy, reliability, Parts availability. Thanks
  12. Hi all, I own a Toyota Aqua. And I do my regular services at C*rePo*nt. Last time when I took it there for the service that guy who changed oil requested me to do an engine bay wash saying that area is so dusty. Upto that point I only allowed them to use the high pressure air (Because from the place I bought the car asked me not to wash the engine bay as it might cause further damage). The reason that serviceman told me was that due that dust it might create an unnecessary heat in the invertor and may lead into early problematic situations. Also he stated that they use a special chemical instead of water. So I allowed them to do so. During the process I saw them using high pressure water. Since I was in a hurry to my workplace I was not able to ask them why they used water as well. So my questions are 1) Is it okay to do such an engine bay wash especially for a hybrid which is filled with complicated electronics? 2) Will the dust really remain as a causative factor for heat generation in the investor (like the dust layer acting as a heat insulator) ? 3) If it is necessary to do the wash how often should I do it (I know this question may sound stupid as it depends on the amount of dust collected. But I mean generally is it necessary to do it like I change oil in every 5000km's. I use solely this car for driving within the Colombo city) Thanks in advance!
  13. Is the Fuel Efficiency of Hybrid Vehicle going down, when the vehicle getting older ? users & experts pls explain it practically & theoretically.
  14. Hi, This is my first post on Autolanka. I own a Toyota aqua 2014, which i bought a month ago. By that time it had done 14000km. From the day since i bought the car i noticed that there is sort of a rattling sound which comes from engine compartment when the car shifts from EV mode to the engine powered mode in moderate acceleration. This scenario doesn't take place in hard acceleration. Btw apart from that sound there is no any other noticeable issue like warning light appearing or lacking engine power and so and so.Any idea on this issue? Your thoughrs are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  18. Initially I was thinking of upgrading my old car to a new Hybrid (either to Toyota Aqua or to Honda GP) but with this falling rupees, the prices have shot up on those aforesaid models considerably. Now I am thinking of going for a used Nissan Navara (around 2008 model / Diesel / Auto) ISO a Hybrid. What do experts here think of this change of plans? Thanks in advance.

  20. I have Toyota Passo 2007 car and planing to sell it and buy Honda FIT Hybrid. Since my maximum budget is around 2.7 M, I can only go for a send hand car. I have seen lot of 2010 and 2011 Honda Fit Hybrids advertised on various web sites for a long period, but they couldn't sell those yet. Does that means "Going for a second hand Honda FIT Hybrid" is not a wise thing to do? Second thing I want to know is, "I heard that honda fit hybrid 2010 first gen models have some issues, is that true?" Third thing "Is it advisable to buy a car with more than 50000Km millage?" Kindly give your thoughts, Thanks
