Funnily enough, I’ve just ordered the Sportage PHEV GTLS a few hours ago.
Currently have the MHEV version and can’t wait to get rid. The problems with the MHEV (clogging particulate filter and dire mpg), shouldn’t occur with the PHEV.
My heart was definitely with the Volvo V60, but it made no financial sense with the Sportage being such good value. My wife works at the top of a hilly area that doesn’t seem to get much attention from the council when it snows, so prefers AWD. It’s also a tight manoeuvre getting on and off our drive, especially when neighbours park on the road near our house.
@TheSUVguy It seems that they need to decide how quickly they want the car and how flexible they are with any potential price increases. Do note that the PHEV version of the New updated Sportage isn’t been released until quite a few months after the ICE and HEV ones. So I see no chance of getting the updated PHEV.
@TheSUVguy I’d recommend they read and follow Kezo and Glos Guy’s thread about their Tucson PHEVs as it will give good insight in to getting the most out of the cheap EV miles.
