The Ranger hybrid really appeals to me, it would absolutely haul *** being 200KW+, be good on fuel and its not some rattly slow diesel POS. Ford's Ecoboost engines are wicked, the Fiesta ST we have, peak torque starts at 1500 RPM and carries through to 4500 RPM and its only 1.6L, makes the same torque as my old diesel Focus and uses .5L/100km more fuel.
I agree with that. I’d prefer the PHEV over a 4 cylinder diesel. Depending on the price difference

I checked out most of the other PHEVs available in Australia and seems the range varies from 30km to 76km with a few around the 50 mark.
So 45 isn’t amazing but it’s not bad either.
