    In the facelift Tuscon I’m getting 34 miles on average. If I take it easy or use regen paddles it around 38 miles and just over 50mpg on a run.

    Hi @kezo It’s touch and go whether we pick up our Tucson PHEV on Tuesday. It didn’t arrive this week as hoped, so it will have to arrive on Monday or (very latest) Tuesday morning if the hoist installation can go ahead as planned on Tuesday afternoon 🙄

    34 miles electric range sounds good. That would cover all our local journeys (as we hoped). I didn’t feel any regenerative breaking at all on either of our test drives (thankfully), but will have a play with it when we take delivery. Am I right in thinking you adjust it with the left paddle?

    Was the 50mpg on a run starting with a fully charged battery? If so, I’ll be disappointed with that tbh. I can get 50mpg on a run in the BMW and don’t have to pay to charge it, so I’d be hoping for 60mpg plus for it to work out no more expensive to run once charging costs are factored in.
