If the computer shows circa 60 mpg on a longer journey @kezo then I’ll be very happy with that as, once charging costs are factored in, that will equate to low 50s in real terms which is what I can achieve in the BMW. That would make all the savings on local journeys a net gain.
My concern would be that if the car is showing low 50s (which is mid 40s in real terms allowing for charging costs) then my local savings will be eroded by more expensive longer journeys than I have now. If I don’t make meaningful savings overall then I’ll wish I’d stuck with a petrol that I never need to plug in!
We called in to see the car earlier and are very happy with the Moss Grey leather interior. It’s definitely more cream than grey and my wife preferred it to the Oyster and black in our BMW. We didn’t realise, until the dealer pointed it out, that the strips that run under the dashboard and door tops (the bits that have fake stitching on) are a slightly lighter grey than the darker grey above them, so you get a really nice contrast of colours which make the door cards look high quality (see photo below). Ford need to take a look at this, as their door cards on their current cars are absolutely awful and make the car look cheap as chips. Much to our surprise, getting back in our BMW afterwards we both felt that the interior of the Tucson, especially with the pale leather, did not feel like a step down in quality from the BMW although, if I was nit picking, BMW use a better quality leather (but it’s now an expensive option).
The car has been supplied with mats and two charging cables – a 3 pin granny charger (which I will use) and one for public chargers (which I probably won’t 😂)
