The PHEV version was through developed with all the other variants,
it’s just sitting there waiting to be activated.
It’s much easier to develop a hybrid from a PHEV than go the other way but I suspect that
Europe/ Euro 6 stage whatever and tightening emissions will bring it to the table long before 2028.
Watch for Eco protesters to start directly targeting diesel Utes and SUVs as the enemy of the planet.
They don’t care as much about V8/Turbo Falcon & Commodore any more because they’re “gone”.
