I sat in one at a Motability event recently and I was surprised how comfortable it was. Lots of kit but as you say, a bit pricey. Comfort wise, the only others that beat it were two EVs, the BYD Atto 3 (which was really comfortable albeit a bit out there inside) and the XC40 that apparently is “coming soon”. Will be interesting to see if that is electric only and what the AP is.
Interesting about the XC40. I should imagine that a new model must be due out before too long, so it would make sense for the run-out model to appear on Motability if they need to clear stock, although I would have thought that most are made to order given all the option possibilities. I didn’t like the exterior or the tech on the XC40 as much as the BMW that we went for, and we would ideally like something bigger next time, but I’d definitely consider that if it’s on the scheme when we change. I wouldn’t be interested if it was the EV version though
@kezo it made me smile when you called the Tucson a Tuscon. A mate of mine has 4 Hyundai’s in his family. His is a Santa Fe and his wife and two daughters all have Tucson’s which he pronounces as ‘Tuscan” rather than the correct “Tucson” (pronounced Too-sonn, as in Tucson Arizona). I keep meaning to tell him that there is a car called a Tuscan, but it’s made by TVR ? Mind you, I have incorrectly pronounced Hyundai as “Hi-un-dye” for years, whereas the advertising campaign now educates us that it’s pronounced “Hyun-day”. Perhaps these overseas manufacturers should use names that us Brits can cope with ?
