WATT MATTERS?

The Sealion 6 helped make plug-in hybrids mainstream again in Australia. Longer-range versions now make the electric part of the proposition more credible for people who charge consistently.

THE BASICS

The range includes front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions, with extended-range batteries and differing electric-range claims. Buyers need to check both the variant and the measurement basis.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

This is a practical choice for households wanting one car for daily electric trips and longer petrol-assisted journeys. It makes much less sense if the charging cable stays in the boot.
