How calculated
6.4 L/100 km x $2.21/L / 100 = $0.14/km
Formula: L/100 km x gas price per litre / 100 = cost per km.
This estimates driving energy only, not total ownership cost. Actual fuel or electricity cost varies with prices, weather, driving, energy-source mix, and vehicle condition.
Vehicle charging
- NRCan-listed recharge time
- 4 hours
NRCan defines this as the estimated time to fully recharge the battery at 240 volts. The imported NRCan value does not specify charging power, connector, or a detailed starting and ending battery percentage. This is not a DC fast-charging estimate.
Daily driving and fast-charging reach
This is a statistical comparison, not a prediction of how often an individual driver should charge.

Map distances
Range planning notice: The displayed reach starts with the vehicle’s listed rated range and is an estimate, not a guarantee. Real-world range can be reduced by driving speed and style, traffic, route and elevation, cold or hot weather, wind, rain or snow, cabin heating and air conditioning, passenger or cargo load, towing, tire type and pressure, battery age and condition, and starting charge. The circles show straight-line distance rather than driving distance; roads, detours, charger availability and a safe arrival reserve can further reduce how far you should plan to travel. Confirm your route, conditions, remaining charge and charging options before departure. Charging-station availability is not real-time.

What Transport Canada reports
On certain vehicles, an error in a software update may prevent the batteries from properly balancing the voltage among individual cells. This may cause the vehicle to enter a reduced power mode. If a driver continues to operate a vehicle in reduced power mode, a loss of propulsion may occur, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Hybrid Powertrain Control Module 2.

What Transport Canada reports
On certain vehicles, if a driver exits the vehicle and were to inadvertently leave the vehicle "ON", after a period of time the vehicle's battery would drain and the vehicle's gasoline engine would begin to run. If the gasoline engine were to run for long periods of time when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed area, such as a garage, there is a risk of carbon monoxide build-up, which could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Correction: Dealers will update vehicle software to limit the time that an idle vehicle can be left in the "ON" position.

What Transport Canada reports
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 202 - Head Restraints. If subjected to load in the highest adjustment position, the rear seat head restraints may move to the next lower adjustment position, being displaced in excess of what is allowable in the standard. Correction: No corrective recall action is required as this technical non-compliance is deemed to be non-safety related.

What Transport Canada reports
On certain vehicles, material used in the construction of the windshield sunshade, sold as an optional accessory, may not meet the requirements of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 302 - Flammability of Interior Materials. The sunshade's inner core material could burn faster than allowable by the standard. Note: The exterior material, exposed in normal use, meets the requirements of the standard. Correction: A production change was made to add a flame resistant coating to the interior corrugated plastic layer to remedy this non-compliance condition. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance condition is deemed to be non-safety related.
