I’ve got the new 45 model. Would highly recommend it. The torque has been upped from 310Nm to 565Nm which makes all the difference. Interior quality is actually a lot better than some commenters have said especially when compared to the ioniq 5 when I test drove them back to back but again this is subjective to the user. The 45 spec on motability comes with leather seats now too which was the key reason I bought it. Also lumbar support is standard as is adaptive cruise control, reversing camera with front sensors. In terms of driving it has all the competition beat in my opinion. The suspension is comfortable and it goes road corners excellently considering it’s a big SUV. This is partly down to the 45 model suspension retune compared to the old 40 spec. What I’d suggest is test drive a 45 model if you can get a dealer to provide one. The difference from 40 to 45 is night and day.
Thanks Masky, that’s exactly the sort of owner experience reply I was hoping for. I can feel a test drive coming on.
