This is not a breakdown rate. No reliability statistics exist for cars sold for this short a time, and we will not invent a score. This index adds up five verifiable facts that decide what happens to you if a fault occurs: how long the model has been sold here, what its battery is made of, what the manufacturer guarantees, where you could get it repaired, and whether an independent body has crash-tested it. The lower the total, the less exposed you are.
No local service history: no parts on shelves, no trained technicians, and no evidence of how the car behaves in this climate.
On a plain hybrid the battery is under 2 kWh: it is not the weak point.
Warranty length is the only number a manufacturer publishes about its own confidence. It is also what protects you when something goes wrong.
We have not documented this brand's service network in this country, so we assume the worst case rather than flatter it.
Structure and restraints were measured by an independent third party.
