I’ve found the first one, from Hyundai. I can’t post it as it’s a pdf, but click on the ‘Price Guide’ button on the following page and you can open it

@Mike700 I’d be interested what your getting on local journeys once youve had chance to do
out of interest, how many miles do you think you can get on full EV before engine kicks in?
It will depend on how much charge there is in the battery coupled with the type of driver you are?
A ‘’Bullit “type of driver , or a Starsky & Hutch, would probably get at least 50 yards in pure EV mode?
.
Motorway driving in D and Eco mode,Intelligent Cruise set at 74 mph, with odd switch to Sport, & my car returned some 53+mpg. 3 up with luggage, and the engine was in use quite often, but completely unobtrusive and cruised on electric only from time to time, quiet & comfortable.
80%+ of my motoring these days is local, as an example, yesterday afternoon 3 up no luggage, dropped Granddaughter at friend’s house, all Electric about 2 miles in B drive Eco.
Drove off to pick up the dog , back to town, picked up Granddaughter , into Sainsbury , over to Nandos , off home, Lots of EV driving ,lots of regenerative braking Engine unnoticed ,69.1 mpg recorded!
The main thing for me is that it gives an EV drive experience, quiet and smooth, without range anxiety , without plug in, at a reasonable MPG
@Mike700 These reviews are invaluable. The mpg that you are getting is very impressive and, as you say in your final comment, you are getting many of the advantages of an EV without any of the negatives. If the Tekna+ (Qashqai or X-Trail) is on the scheme when we change next year then I shall certainly be having a close look based on your experiences.
I had a quashqui tenka plus on order but it never made it to a real order and I switched to the Kona. As nice a the nissan was it didn’t have the recharging battery via a small engine as it wasn’t out.
I had also hurt myself and felt the one pedal drive and using paddle to stop(mostly) a big boon and still do.
It was lovely motor but economy wasn’t superb
Current Car: Hyundai Kona Premium EV...2 way 40kg hoist

I’m a littled baffled with Nissan specs, most noteably Tecna trim in the X Trail would give the specification required for our needs:
Black – Synthetic Leather Optional Grey
Heated steering wheel
Heated front seats
Heated rear seatsMost noteably missing from the QQ Tecna is the full (fake) leather.
Thanks, 3008 was my preferred choice, but £500 dearer than the Grandland Ultimate which has much higher specs and more seats down space.

Thanks for that – much appreciated
I will provide an update in December 23.

Last update on the Qashqai thread? 53.1 there and and some running around and back home after 2 nIghts in Southport
and just home from picking up the dog .Shopping at Sainsbury’s and aTake away from Nando’s- About 16 miles 69.1 . I have photos but they won’t Load

I should clear up some potential confusion here –
The e- power is driven / propelled only by an electric motor, therefore, ‘technically’ it is in electric drive 100% of the time.
The engine only powers the inverter which either charges the battery- or sends electricity to the motor ,using petrol instead of ‘plug in electricity – and only when necessary ie when the charge is low , and it Cuts in very discreetly , btwI am now recording over 1100 miles with an average of 59 mpg .
Similar mileage shown on YouTube!
It always starts in full Electric mode, moving off quietly and quickly , just like any other e v, and sometimes the engine stays shutdown for a couple of miles, depending on the style of driving and the traffic conditions, other times it can cut in soon after starting off, but it is only charging / topping up the battery and is not driving the wheels.
It is not like a plug in hybrid, where the engine also powers the car, and it actually provides a closer driving experience to a full EV, in my opinion!
All about Nissans E-Power if anyone is interested.
