The biggest mystery to me is that the power and torque of the top spec PHEV have both dropped – ps down from 265 to 253 and nm torque down from 350 to 304 – yet 0-60 is improved by 0.1 seconds. I don’t believe that it’s a new engine. I wonder if it has been detuned to improve MPG? There’s also a 2WD PHEV added, but that’s not on Motability yet. I’m wondering if the £900 drop in AP this month was to clear current stock, but my dealer, like others, have said that they will order the new model at the current (lower) AP.
Some are saying its to meet Euro 7 but, I question that as the ICE and MHEV has increased from 148 to 157bhp!
