If you drive both back to back you will know what I’m talking about. Combined power output if you floor the pedal might be more on the Hybrid (for initial acceleration), but honestly you would not be looking at any Cross model if flooring the pedal was your goal. For more regular everyday driving situations, the 1.8 G/V models will give you more power with less pedal travel. The most noticeable will be uphill, at the expense of poorer fuel economy obviously. For example, overtaking a bus/lorry going up a hill – the pure petrol model will overtake easily with pedal press 1/2 way down, while the hybrid might need 2/3.

unfortunately Honda and Toyota still tuned their hybrids for petrol savings thus no G-force type of acceleration no matter how high they quoted their motorised torque,

Would you guys recommend the petrol version or hybrid and why? Test drove both and somehow hybrid version seems to have audible humming/angry noise frequently I believe when it’s charging. Noticible from stop to move or when driving slowly. And feels a bit underpowered compared to the petrol version.

However if not for that sound I feel hybrid is more worth.

Also interested to know if this or x70 more worth? Feature wise seems like x70
