I’ve just ordered a B3Plus Dark to replace a much loved R Line Tech Tiguan we have had for 5 years this month. Have been prevaricating as really did not want to spend £3K AP to try and get as close to the R Line Tech spec as possible. With the addition of spare wheel and blacked out windows, the XC40 will cost me £2K, minus the New Car allowance of £750, so £1200 for a lot of car – and comfortable lumbar support which is the most important thing for me. It feels dark inside compared to the Tiguan with the wide windows and pano roof, but first world problems.
I am nervous of the MPG I will get as I am used to the 40-50 I get in the diesel Tiguan, but I barely managed 25 in a hired Qashqai recently, so I am hoping for nearer 30 than 20.
If you are in the M4 corridor/Thames Valley area I recommend the service from Adrian at Waylands Newbury – very straightforward, pragmatic guy, happy to deal with me/ offered immediate appointments and test drives, despite being the lowest form of customer, a Motability customer, and clear instructions on what to bring to put the order through. Ive been told 3-4 months, as long as it is on the 24 plate I am happy and I get to enjoy the spec on my Tiguan for a few more months !
In stark contrast to dismissive manner from sales team I encountered in Waylands Swindon, which I do not recommend.
