Thanks @kezo for the trip comparison information as that sort of MPG is good for me. Feeling a bit more relaxed about situation now so will probably go ahead. The dealership are trying to clear onsite stock as the one I agreed to is there. Would have liked to see the actual car itself first but can always refuse to put pin in if not happy. Thanks for the support too @Glos Guy. Can I ask you guys if you added any options? I agreed to the bumper mat/flap for my assistance dog, turned down the paint “treatment” offered but wasn’t offered any additional items so am wondering if there’s anything you’d recommend? I’m assuming the floor mats don’t come as standard so need to purchase those either on pickup or elsewhere.
There’s no need to pay for anything extra. That’s the big advantage of the Tucson Ultimate – it doesn’t want for anything! Mats are included, so no need to buy those. You can have any paint colour at no extra cost (as per Motability policy). I didn’t bother with any boot protection even though I am hauling a wheelchair in and out of it every trip, and 1,500 miles in there’s no damage. If it’s a stock car that they are trying to shift, make sure that it’s the facelift model and not the pre facelift, as some dealers still have a few of the pre facelift models kicking around. The improvements are huge and of the scale of an all new model rather than a mid life facelift. The obvious things to look for are that the facelift has a transmission shifter to the right of the steering column, whereas the pre facelift has buttons between the front seats. Also, the pre facelift has a small (and somewhat dated) infotainment screen whereas the facelift has a very long one piece screen that is part instrument cluster and part infotainment.
