Took my awning off and no rattles.....lovely.Does it rattle?
For us it seems a good fit.Interested to hear your thoughts on life style impacts of the change from your T5 4Motion… Maybe about to make a similar change. Still needing to have a camp option occasionally but quite like the Ququq style kitchen module and roll out bed. The extra flexibility of the T7 Multivan is attractive and it looks like the T7 Cali even in beach form loses the full load width and 3rd row of seats. Can it take an awning? What about storage? Are you using the window bags….. TIA
Well the vehicle info says 30 miles EV and 300 Petrol.Does the small fuel tank annoy you? What sort of range do you get on a motorway run starting fully charged and full fuel tank?
Accelerates a lot quicker. You wouldn’t know when the IC engine takes over, only by noting the change on the Dashboard rev counter. Haven’t heard a Starter Motor. I think it uses a combined starter/ generator system.Always uses the EV to start off from Stop or in Reverse, and just seamlessly changes to IC and through the gears. Only by using the graphics on the Dash do you know which you are using and when gears change.@WelshGas - this is a really useful thread. Keep it coming as I think practical hands-on experience is definitely needed in place of speculation and guessing. A quick question - how does the hybrid feel compared to your previous diesel, particularly do you notice it swapping gears more. Or is it all so smooth as to be imperceptible?
