Like you, I shall be driving the PHEV in ‘Auto’ mode as, having tried all 3 modes extensively, it’s by far the best economy wise (Question – does it default to that mode every time you start the PHEV? I couldn’t check, as it was forced into hybrid mode once the battery had depleted).
Yes Auto is the default mode on startup – the car then chooses the best mode favouring ev where it can, as you gathered from your test.
Cypress green does not look too disimilar to the Amazon grey we had on our previos ICE model. It was a predominantly darker grey than our Ecotronic grey, which had a tinge of dark green if the sun was bright and hit the car at a certain angle. We really liked the colour.
The plastic trim on the Ultimate is now flush(er) to the bodywork compared to our previos one and looks alot better for it. A darker paint as you suggested also disguises it.
I really liked the CX60 interior, I thought it looked business class but, there was no space in the rear considering ts size, mres kezo didn’t like the seat base. The running gear let it down as, it wasn’t as seamless as the Tucson going from one powertrain to the other and the rear end bounced over speed bumps and expansion joints which was unerving. It also felt slower than the Tucson which consdering claimed 5.8s 0-60 also felt way slower than the similar performance of the Rav4/Across.
Let me know expected delivery date after ordering, which shouldn’t be long 🙂
