Speaker A

Friends, welcome to the Grid Auto Dehatsu Rocky Hybrid channel. It seems that with its very competitive price, friends, I think this is one of the most valuable strong full hybrid cars in Indonesia today. And now I'm trying to explain approximately which parts

Speaker A

and what makes it so worth it. Here's why. Yes, friends. So the price is IDR 299.85 million, of course for OT Jakarta, and ee it's not even IDR 300 million, friends. For a full hybrid, a strong hybrid, the price is very

Speaker A

competitive, friends. Very competitive. Friends, you know that the front eh, there are some that are more than IDR 300 million, and that's just the m hybrid. While this one has a stronger hybrid system, right? And that's what makes it feel oh, its value is high

Speaker A

because the price is competitive. But e, as I mentioned earlier, the price is only one because there is only one variant, friends, and that might be the first note why it is so. Yes. Why is that? Because eh, this Rocky Hybrid,

Speaker A

maybe in terms of body, is the same as Rocky or race, right? But in terms of impression, in terms of appearance, it feels ordinary even though this is the highest variant of Rocky, yes. Compared to the ice one. But in terms of

Speaker A

appearance, it feels ordinary. For example, this single-tone silver rim also feels like basic. Then Rocky ice, friends, there is a dual-tone roof.

Speaker A

While this one does not. All single-tone body color. So, other than the hybrid emblem, for example, or the blue background on the front and rear logos, there doesn't seem to be any extra sign that this is a special

Speaker A

variant. If Rocky Hybrid owners seem to be more concerned about the goodness of the technique, yes, from the performance, especially efficiency and I will explain later. But in terms of appearance, for me, Rocky ice has more interesting options, including some

Speaker A

with dark rims, some with dual-tone rims, which seem more fierce. And I think I need to tell you how the ride feels, including its performance, friends. And friends, when it comes to the ride feel, Rocky Hybrid, in my

Speaker A

opinion, is special, friends. So it is a hybrid with a serial scheme. And if you know, the Nissan ee has e-Power, it's relatively similar to the one in the Dehatsu Rocky Hybrid's esmart. That is, the electric motor focuses entirely

Speaker A

on moving the car, including when it's walking or running. Uh, then the combustion engine is only there to charge your battery. So, yeah, the series from the wheels is driven by the motor and then the battery is charged

Speaker A

by the engine. Well, the sensation is like wanting to charge electricity, friends. Really like a battery electric car, an electric vehicle in the context of agility. So, you probably already know that electric motors have a natural character where the torque and

Speaker A

power feel instant for him to run. or walk or accelerate, it feels really easy because the ee electric motor doesn't have the power and torque curve character like a combustion engine.

Speaker A

Well, but the batteries in most series cars, including the Rocky Hybrid, are small, friends. So when the system detects that this is accelerating, it means it needs quite a lot of battery, right? And the system will charge the

Speaker A

battery immediately. Oh, when accelerating fast, the battery will drain like that. Then the system immediately charges the battery. How does the engine rev higher to charge the battery faster? Like, for example, like this. I want to try accelerating

Speaker A

from 30 km/h. Well, the engine is roaring, meaning it's charging the battery more optimally, more rapidly.

Speaker A

So if you ask me, what does it feel like with a Rocky Hybrid like this? Yes, its responsiveness is truly like an electric car because it uses an electric motor, but there's the performance of a combustion engine,

Speaker A

whether from the roaring sound or the vibrations, that's what you can feel. So that's the point where the serial hybrid scheme is working, and that's what it feels like. That's it, guys. If you ask me if I like this kind of

Speaker A

scheme? I might not make a serial hybrid my first choice, but I can't deny that this is one system that I find effective when we're driving. The F is really that instant. The electric motor, once again, is to move the car

Speaker A

nimbly. Then when the engine charges the battery at both low and high revs, it works without any problems because it's not annoying, in my opinion. The sensation I get more often is oh this car feels light, friends, for him to

Speaker A

overtake, for him to climb, it's really like an electric car that gets everything even from low speeds, effortlessly. Then if you ask how about the performance, both acceleration and efficiency. Okay, the acceleration from 0 to 100 is complete in 10 seconds and

Speaker A

that's fast, friends. Even for the size of a compact SUV, yes, in its class, there are hybrids, yes, m hybrids. Then there are cars that are ice, there are races, there is Rocky, which is ice, there is still Kia Sonet, maybe also

Speaker A

sold WRV. Honda also has ee and for ee compared to them, acceleration like this is also fast, counting 10 seconds.

Speaker A

And what is extraordinary and as you might expect is about efficiency, friends. Its efficiency on the route in your box is 28.8 km/l with an average speed of 22 km/h. Quite low but it can still be that economical. On the toll

Speaker A

road, my friends, at 90 km/h average speed, which simulates a constant high speed, it gets an incredible 21 km/l of fuel economy. And what we know is that when it comes to combined routes, most hybrid cars achieve brilliant results.

Speaker A

Yes, on a combined route with a speed of 50 km/h, it gets 35.3 km/l. 35.3 km/l is similar to a trip out of town, maybe, my friends. It's true that there is density, but not to the point of

Speaker A

traffic jams. It's true that there are high speeds on the toll road, but not along the road. So, if you use it for a road trip that's closer to the combined road, it gets such enjoyable efficiency. I want to say that the driving

Speaker A

impression is that this car is agile for running, walking, or accelerating, this car is good. Full acceleration is also fast, and the gong is all wrapped up in efficiency that you won't think about the transportation budget because it's so economical. So it's really

Speaker A

great in terms of fuel consumption, especially if I use this as a daily ride. It seems like I'm not thinking about the fuel budget anymore because it's so economical. And guys, we need to talk about features, because after

Speaker A

all, this is the most representative variant of the Rocky in Indonesia, and where is the reality, guys? I think the features are complete, guys. Hey, here's safety, there's SRS, Airbag, so there are six in total. Then there's Apple CarPlay, Android Auto. I always

Speaker A

like this feature because it connects the cellphone to the head unit to display visuals and sounds, yeah, ee more easily. For example, GPS for navigation, Spotify for entertainment, that's really great. Then, uh, there's Dehatsu called Advanced Safety Assist

Speaker A

(ASA) and it's there, guys, starting from pedal misoperation control or line departure prevention control.

Speaker A

There's also here that it can brake automatically, it can initiate the steering to stay in its own lane. There are better safety features, yeah, call, stability control, ABS, those are obviously there, yeah. Apart from that, there are more basic ones, for example,

Speaker A

like the buttons on the door handle to get in. Then there's a button to turn on the system so we can just put the remote control module in our pocket.

Speaker A

Then there's the EPB electric parking brake and brake auto hold. Oh, there's the S pedal, guys. So it's like an electric car with single pedal operation. If you release the gas to brake, the regenerative energy is stronger so the car brakes like that.

Speaker A

So it's more compact in use. But it does require more adaptation. The car's ability to glide is reduced, but the e-battery charges faster. For me, for the price and for the expectations of features that must be in today's cars.

Speaker A

Okay, everyone, guys. Okay, about the Rocky hybrid features, it's great. I want to show

Speaker A

10 fingers, guys. 10 to 11 fingers. This is fixed, it can't be moved forward, it can't be moved backward.

Speaker A

The reclining can be removed, but the angle can't be adjusted, it's fixed too . Well, this is isofix. Then I like the three-point seat belt for all passengers, including the headrest.

Speaker A

This is good. I haven't mentioned this to you guys about the choice of red accents on the front seat, it seems to have a sporty feel. From the outside, it might look ordinary, but when you sit inside, there's red, it looks like

Speaker A

it's ready to go. And I like this USB, guys. Type A is in the back. There are two in the front, but one is type C.

Speaker A

For today's passengers, a USB slot is important, guys. So, using your cellphone, plug it in the car and when you get out, the battery is already charged. So, it's not just about fun, but we really need it for today's era.

Speaker A

The rest is okay. Well, I actually like this. The trunk in the back is enough, it's not wide and not deep so the space is just average, nothing too special, but it's enough for a copper cabin size of 2 to 3 people and that's enough. Ee,

Speaker A

but what I like is that if there's not enough space, it can be folded to become additional cargo and this is the 40 60 40 division on the right side. Ee , so ee when one of the backrests is

Speaker A

folded, there can still be passengers to sit in the second row seats, like that. And under the trunk, under the floor, there are still additional spaces for you to store lots of stuff, the battery is placed in the back. By

Speaker A

the way, there's something I want to show you at the back, guys. Here, guys.

Speaker A

So, the door trim on all four doors is dark. While the one on the trunk door is white. You can see it. And what I like is that the quality is really solid. Is it possible because this is a

Speaker A

Japanese CBU? I don't know. Because the ones in Indonesia are also good in terms of QC. But the reality is like this. And this feels really solid, guys . In parts like this, which are not very visible for example or not very

Speaker A

visible directly when you first get in and that's good, it gives it like added value. So, friends, we can come to the end of the review. So for me, the Dehasokia hybrid is a car that is worth it, worth buying. It is worth the price

Speaker A

because first, the price is very competitive, even compared to other cars in the Compact SUV class, there are more expensive ones that don't even have hybrid technology. So, in terms of price, okay. Second, the technology of this hybrid series is effective, making

Speaker A

it fast and fuel efficient, friends. And it's very fuel efficient. So something for a car in this class is very worthy of appreciation. The technology is effective. And third, the features for today's car are in line with the demands of the times. Those

Speaker A

three things made me think, oh, this car is okay. But one of the shortcomings, and for me, is, uh, what is it? It's a very significant impression, friends. Its appearance is too simple for a car with technology as

Speaker A

good as this. But its appearance is like a basic car, a car that is quote-unquote empty, when seen from the outside, yeah. So maybe for some people , that could be a separate note. Its appearance is too ordinary. What do you

Speaker A

guys think? Is the Dehatsu Rocky Hybrid good or not, and is it worth the price?

Speaker A

Let me know in the comments. Thank you guys for watching, and see you in the next Grid Auto video. Thank you.
