    Did you test its range in Normal or Eco mode? In Eco, the front engine isn’t used, whereas on Normal, it’s used when needed.

    Actually eco mode does use both motors as shown on the dash display of power distribution.
    Having two motors increases maximal regen braking by applying it to both axles.
