Only things that put me off were the raised floor area in front of the seats (battery pack) which reduced the knee room under the steering wheel when getting in/out to virtually none, I”m just over 6’5″.
The other things were the headrests blocked the over the shoulder view through the rear passenger window, couldn’t see anything at all. And lastly the centre console is a lot higher than the Ateca, probably 10cm or greater, that meant it was rubbing against my left knee joint which is painful.
I may try a test drive but my local dealer only has the base trim, nearest Techno Alpine is 15 miles away. Failing that I may just wait until the MY24 Kuga FHEV comes out.
Price wise petrol or FHEV all work out the same over 3yrs, £1000 more AP for the hybrid or £1000 more for non-hybrid in fuel costs.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
