Hi! Anyone driving this in Malaysia? How much is it? Wat's the mileage like?
Heard that the mileage is about 20km/liter for the 1.5liter engine.

Just to add something that i just learned:
The difference between full and partial is critical to your fuel and
emissions-saving agenda: A full hybrid powertrain is one that can operate
on electric-only power, meaning the vehicle is propelled forward by the
strength of its electric motors before the gas engine starts. The Toyota
Prius and the Ford Escape Hybrid are two excellent examples of this
technology, as both can go up to approximately 15 mph on the electric
power. Because full hybrid powertrains actually cut the engine at
stoplights and in traffic, fuel savings and pollution are significantly
better than that offered by partial systems. The benefit to a partial
system is better performance (electric motors can provide greater boost off
the line) with improved fuel economy. The Honda Accord Hybrid is a partial
hybrid and is the fastest Accord in the lineup, though doesn’t really
benefit the environment: the Accord Hybrid is rated ULEV, whereas most full
hybrids are rated as PZEV.
