I accept that the car is new and needs some miles on the clock and also it’s winter but I don’t drive fast and I was expecting better mpg. We have had the caravan for nine years now so have done the journey in a few different cars, to give some perspective, as follows:-
Seat Leon Estate 1.6 diesel company car 2016 – 2020 around 70mpg.
Seat Ibiza 5 door hatch 1.2 petrol private purchase 2017 – present around 52mpg.
Seat Arona 1.6 diesel motability car 2018 – 2022 around 65mpg.
Toyota Corolla Estate 1.8 petrol self charging hybrid company car 2020 – 2022, handed back on retirement, around 60mpg.
Vauxhall Grandland 1.5 diesel motability car 2022 – 2025 around 60mpg.
Hyundai Tucson 1.6 petrol self charging hybrid motability new car 42.6mpg.
I don’t understand why the Toyota was so much better and I don’t remember it being any worse in the winter. All that said we do like the Hyundai, I’ve not played around with the regen braking so I’m hoping that will help also once the car has done a few miles and possibly warmer weather things may improve.
