Ah, got it. So the first 2 figures were miles you’d actually travelled in EV mode, not (as I thought) what your remaining EV only range was 🙄😂. That makes more sense and I’m very impressed with those figures. Most reviews of other PHEVs tend to suggest that real world EV range is significantly below what is claimed by the manufacturers (much like quoted BEV ranges versus reality), but that’s bang on what Hyundai claim from memory 👍
Re the regenerative braking, am I correct in thinking that, whilst driving, the left paddle will allow me to scroll between LV1, LV2, LV3 and OFF (no regenerative braking at all)? I tried the right paddle when I had the car on test and it put the car into manual gear changes (which I’d never use). I thought I’d done the same with the left paddle, but might not have done as I don’t recall seeing the LV symbol and I certainly didn’t feel any element of regenerative braking (one reason I preferred driving it over the iX1s that I’d had on test)
I’d got as far as the coasting section of the manual but thought that was just a dashboard prompt to ease off the gas. I’ll have to have a play with that when I get it.
Nice one with the camera set up. Very sensible. Apologies for mentioning that, but I see so many people on the road with phones in their hand and I have seen first hand what happens to those people when they are caught.
Hopefully, in a few weeks time I might have some nuggets to share with you as well! It’s very much been one way traffic so far, but I really appreciate all the help and advice 👍 Whilst I shall be sad to see the BMW go, I’m quite looking forward to the whole new experience that I’ll have with the Tucson and, in particular, all the extra kit. This might sound sad, but the thing I’m looking forward to most is the blind spot side view cameras that appear in the dashboard when you indicate, the red warnings of a vehicle in your blind spot that appear on the head up display and the fact that if you still manage to miss all of that the car will steer you away from a potential collision. I don’t have any of that on the BMW and I have to confess that over the last few months I’ve had a number of instances where I’ve come quite close to missing a car that was in my blind spot. Whilst not ‘old’ I’m not oblivious to the fact that our reactions slow as we get older and I’m all for some safety aids to counter that. I thought that whole set up on the Tucson was brilliant.
