Just ordered!

[Uptodat]

Ordered a GX4h, grey, on 25th May and eagerly await delivery.
Will be parting with a diesel Xtrail - my second - and hope to fill up rather less, and not worry about clogged DPF. Easy sell for salesman.
Glad to find this forum!

I have just ordered a GX3h in the UK, been told to expect a delivery date in the first week of July. I chose black with leather, would have liked a GX4h for the remote app, but the lease cost was a lot higher and I also disliked the reduced headroom in the rear due to the sunroof.

Little bit more feedback:

Starting to find my way around the MMCS, am hoping there is a way to set a default screen as it's a bit frustrating having to navigate through about 4-5 screens each time you start to get to the one I left it on last (each screen taking about 5 seconds to load).

The 'trip' section in 'info' is my favourite - loads of useful data in there including range on EV, total range, energy use by the drive motors and AC etc. and, of course, that nice graphic which shows the %age EV driving (100% so far ).

I also like the fact that you can input your own actual pence per kWh cost and the car will tell you how much each charge costs.

So today I reckon I managed just under 30 miles on last night's full charge. Topped it up for about 20 mins as I needed to do 2-3 miles round trip to the doctors when I was down to 3 or 4 miles EV range.

One thing I haven't solved yet - the key has a button to open the tailgate, but this only works once the car is open and powered up :?: :? Seems a bit pointless so I'm hoping there is a setting somewhere to change this. I've had remote tailgate buttons before but never found them particularly useful but with this one being power operated I can actually see me using this feature if it works properly.

Ordered mine back in April. GX4h in atlantic grey. No bells and whistles apart from the protection pack.

I'm coming from a Range Rover Vogue... like the Disco guy the 20-25mpg range is just a killer especially with fuel prices set to creep up again (thanks to ISIS in Iraq!!!). I'm really going to miss the RaRo though. A very capable car in all ways but just not economical enough.

My req't was for a car big enough for a growing family (+ dog), safety, fuel economy, and a proper 4WD capability. The PHEV fit the bill and so when I saw the pricing was right I went for it. I've test drove the PHEV and the diesel Outlanders. Definitely a firmer ride in the PHEV. Both are very easy cars to drive.

Should pick it up early next week

So simple, yet so clever.....whoever designed this car really does deserve some special praise
