Does it though?
Not to my understanding, you should downgrade to plus, not lite. Once your pro-trial runs out, you don’t do anything, and should move to plus.
Not even sure how you got 16 months of anything, that number turns up absolutely nowhere on the Hyundai website for anything, so that’s odd lol.
That all said.
Plus is £29 a year. I’d spend it, it’s not the world for the amount of convenience it provides. That said, it is a bit of a flustercuck – could’ve just made it like everyone else, 3 years of the “highest tier”, then toilet-tier until you pay. It’s almost a bit of a BMW style pee-take where you buy a brand spanking new car, and don’t even get the basic functionality with it (though BMW was more egregious with their “heated seat subscription” nonsense”. Give new cars at least 3 years of full functionality before you take features away.
