Just an update on the performance of the QQ e Power.
I am not taking photographs of the consumption any longer, as I have nothing to prove to myself on the performance etc, I am more interested in practicality , driving capability, suspension / handling safety Etc.
However, travelling quite regular between Berkshire and Essex ,with Granddaughter ,, who normally lives with us, in drama college in Essex , means that the mileage is rising,, as are the costs?
Driving the M25 North from the Royal county to the Dartford turnoff, meeting long traffic delays , means an increase in. costs, not only in fuel but also , invariably in hotel and meals out costs.
Fuel is running to approximately 56.1 mpg On journeys to Essex with a maximum speed of 74 mpg on cruise with air con set on low and from Essex via M25 South which is Approx a 40 miles longer journey , but much more comfortable a drive,, once again set at 74 mpg but fewer traffic delays, with a/c set at low , the mpg shows 64.4,!
Local running around returns an average mpg of around 53 mpg , but I have discovered that local driving at under 30 mph is returning up to 85 -95 mpg neatly always on battery only, but 5 mph faster means the engine cutting in more!
I run the 18 in tyres at a about 3psi above the recommended psi on the Mways and reduce to normal for local use, and eco mode for most short journeys, but usually travel the motorway in sport mode.
The rear bumper insert on my n connecta is grey like the 2023 Tecna ,not silver and frankly, looks much better, especially with side enhancers.
btw.,I still leave ‘very shocked looking’ speedsters for dead at the traffic lights, until they awake from the shock and catch me up?
The car is sill a bit jumpy and jittery compared to the Tiguan, but has still only done 4800 miles, and i expect it to get better over time, and the 90 degree opening rear doors are a godsend,
