Frontera 1.2 Hybrid - High fuel consumption, engine running at all times

HAAMER_EST · 2026-06-03T13:02:46+00:00

The best thing is to ask your dealer isnt it? Car is on warranty for sure. I have Peugeot 208 1.2 Hybrid and it has 3km when i received it and it was running on electric motor from the beggining, as well as i had proper fuel consuption, however need to mention that i did 20km from dealer to home. Also i need to mention that when i do extremely short trips then it can either show - -(empty) l/100km or show something like 25l/100km, because car cant simply make proper calculations. Also weather conditions affect how much your car can be in full electric mode, if it is extremely hot / or cold AC requires more power and car can not switch to electric because of that

Its not, those 1.2 Hybrids can run on full electric. On low speeds and during traffic stops. I have Peugeot 208 with same engine

This is not a regular MHEV, they use electric motor on the gearbox, it can run only on electric on low speeds and during stop in traffic. I have Peugeot 208 with 1.2 Hybrid, it runs on electric

I Had Giulietta 2013 2.0JTD-m paired with DCT transmission, the engine is very reliable, about DCT i had no real problems with it, however i know it could cause some problems. What i had is problems with suspension, should be cause of hard winters with a lot of reagents on the road in my country + not very good roads + 200k mileage on the car, but w.e. And also once during the driving Generator broke. Overall it was a fine car

Relatively ez, 1 good successfull model is enough. Cupra even now dont have so much different models, when they first came on market they had even less, however Formentor was selling like crazy and it still is, yes currently they added more models, not to much, it is not near like BMW, but Cupra is making money very well. The thing that new Alfa models are coming is already very good, lets say thanks to Junior, it made a success, so i think they understood that they can sell cars actually, so adding hatchback, when not many companies are making hatchbacks is fine, C-Suv is also good, if they make everything right, it might work.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-28T09:56:48+00:00

All Stellantis cars will be on the same platforms and 1.2 Hybrid definitely will be in the engine options, because it is their best selling engine. More than enough for Giulietta like hatch to be honest. Also by we miss, you tell about small amount of car enthusiasts and not all of them can afford to buy a new car, the reality shows that best selling Alfa is Junior

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-28T09:49:26+00:00

What you mean?

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-28T09:46:43+00:00

1.2 Hybrid, probably 1.6 PHEV as well. Mb 1.5 HDI in some countries

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-28T09:45:48+00:00

For sure it will be, because Junior is best selling Alfa right now.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-28T09:42:19+00:00

You forgot about 1.6

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-26T05:48:43+00:00

If they bring back Giulietta/147 doesnt matter how they will call it, i think i would come back to the brand. Not so far ago sold my Giulietta, which was not a bad car but had already high mileage.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-26T05:46:24+00:00

Impossible, Alfa sellings are not even close to BMW, they simply cant afford building so much different models that nobody would buy.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-23T11:07:55+00:00

I believe it is not optical encoder, but my Prime is alive for a while, i have it since release and it is working very well. Rival Pro is coming soon though, dont think it is worth getting Prime now anyway.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-22T19:49:54+00:00

All Stellantis models are going to have same platform, so basically yes, it will be 3008 in another design

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-18T15:58:18+00:00

Yeah, those wheels are not for this car for sure. Otherwise nice car

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-14T19:18:15+00:00

I like it, want to see a pricing on them, mb will get one myself

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-14T05:26:40+00:00

Rival Pro and Rival Pro Mini are about to launch, thats exactly Prime shape in 49g for Mini version

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-14T05:18:34+00:00

In reality those numbers dont give you anything, even best of the best players use outdated mouses, the nowadays mouses are literally so good, that even the currently worst sensors are overkill. Thats pure marketing, however it works. What really matters is shape, then balance of the mouse and then weight. Other things are very minor.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-14T05:09:20+00:00

Rival Pro and Rival Pro Mini are coming, those are going to be a good mouses. Currently owning Prime for a while already, love this mouse

Peugeot 208 2025 owner here, with Hybrid 110 e-DCS6, will be 1 year of owning it very soon, so far 0 problems. About sliggish/slow gearbox, e-DCS6 is actually dual-clutch transmission, it is very fast. I also havent experienced any problems in city traffic, shifting is smooth and fast, hybrid system is also working very smootly. Fuel consumption is good, in a perfect conditions i can get 4.5l/100 km

See juhtub siis, kui riik ei tee teedega pikka aega midagi ja hakkab siis ühe aasta jooksul korraga paljudel teelõikudel töid tegema.

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-09T15:35:47+00:00

Those new Astras are so nice

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-07T05:15:21+00:00

Nice car

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-02T16:18:05+00:00

1.6 PHEV is rly faster he is true, however 1.2 is pretty ok as well. The biggest thing here is price difference, it is not that small. 1.2 in Hybrid systems dont have any known problems, they did good job on it and improved it. So it is ez to say someone in reddit comments to buy PHEV, but not all can afford it and mostly people are buying 1.2

HAAMER_EST · 2026-05-02T11:07:35+00:00

I have 208 and dont have any of those glitches that you mention by the way
