I had no idea @kezo that ours had gone up by £2k to £4,999. That £2,999 AP didn’t last long then? Must have been a short term incentive from Hyundai (or they just did it to wind us up, as we had recently paid £4,599 😂). Odd timing though, as the facelift had not long come out when they slashed the AP.
Although our respective usage is very different, it’s interesting that we’ve both landed in the same place after 7 months of PHEV ownership. Like you, I’m not convinced that I’d get another. I suppose that we should have kept in mind that PHEVs were primarily designed with company car drivers in mind, as a benefit in kind taxation dodge, and those drivers aren’t worried about the running costs as their fuel is paid for and most company car PHEV drivers never charge them!
Unfortunately, if I buy a used X5 the PHEV one seems to be the one that is in most frequent supply now. The 30d diesel X5 gets brilliant reviews, but I don’t think that my frequency of driving makes a diesel a wise choice now, and the petrol only X5s drink like fish – although I only do about 8,000 miles a year now, so that won’t matter as much. I’d be tempted to consider an X5M but the servicing and maintenance costs (tyres etc) would worry me 😱. The other options would be an X3 (the old shape, I don’t like the new one) or a Porsche (Macan or Cayenne). Thankfully I don’t have to worry about that for some time!
