- Engine–motor transitions. On the road we check that the switch between petrol and electric drive is smooth and fault-free.
- Battery cooling. Vents and cooling for the high-voltage pack are checked, as blocked cooling shortens battery life.
- Regenerative braking. We test braking feel and look for the uneven wear that hybrid systems can mask.
