what the fuel types mean

  • petrol Cheapest to buy, simple, but fuel is expensive in NL.
  • diesel Frugal on long trips, but NL road tax is much higher and city bans are growing.
  • plug-in Bigger battery you charge from a plug; short trips can be fully electric.
  • hybrid Petrol engine + small battery that charges itself. Great for city driving.
