Mild diesel hybrid

[Claireintheair]

I am looking for a new car.
I currently have my eyes on a ‘mild diesel hybrid’ Car.

Honestly have only recently just heard about them! Was aware of petrol hybrids etc but not diesel.

I am under the understanding that the mild diesel hybrid isn’t your typical hybrid (doesn’t need plugged in to charge but just has an extra battery component?)

Anyway - anyone had one and would recommend or have any advice? Experience to share?

very much welcomed!

My car is MDL. All it means is that it has a battery which lets you accelerate
away quicker from a stop by giving a bit of extra power to the motor.

Mild hybrids are barely hybrids at all. They've basically just beefed up the starter motor to provide a tiny bit of occasional extra power to the engine. Barely worth it, but they get to have the word "hybrid" attached to their car to make it seem better than it actually is.
It's basically just a normal car.

Exactly

This. No point in a mild hybrid at all, just a means for the manufacturer to fudge the emissions testing and something else to go wrong.
