Keep on eco mode, gentle acceleration and using the regen paddles to vary declaration I can avoid a lot of actual braking.
Best ever was 13 miles trip which registered over 70 mpg on the trip computer. Had a full hybrid battery and warm engine at start, so likely a one off.
The seats may have the same frames? but the higher spec model with leather definitely has more compliant materials. Had a one hour test drive and would recommend the leather seat model.
This is the first car in 35 years driving that has less comfortable seats than a public bus. And my car history includes some infamous 1970s British Leyland monstrosities!
