same, will get mine january - hope its good haha

Everything I have read is very positive

I have had the Discovery Sport P300e since October (one of the first in UK) and it’s fantastic

@@jit_cool_grewal hello i have booked disco sports phev .... i wanted to know feedback for long country drive ... is 1.5 l engine good ???

@@vikram202002 the engine pulls well when needed but does have to work hard as it’s heavy car. You can drive it hybrid mode where you use both battery and the combustion engine.

EV batteries autonomy, whatever the car model/ brand WLTP are just like the current charging powerbanks. You Always remove 30% and that Will be the real capacity. That's what currently all ev cars in 2023 are showing even Tesla or others. Example: a 10k powerbank only has really 7000mah that would Charge a phone battery of 4250mah around 1x plus around 70% second charge

Did you get an answer to this? I would like to know

@rybrooktv could you reply to this? Would be interested in the answers. Thank you

i cant belive it its the part i was watching for........

Gotta be at least an hour surely !!!!!!

Same here, first week was averaging about 50km, now after 3 weeks i am happy if i can get 25km.

@@BerndStaes I wonder if it is driving style, using extra options? winter?

@@elbowe1 if I drive max eco than I will be able to get about 35km, this is indeed in winter time... So in summer this might go up a little bit. But Range specifies the car as being able to go 66km. So even in the most perfect conditions I still would be very far from that number.

@@BerndStaes I have ordered one for my wife. Autobiography. I wonder if once more are on the drives of homes, and people truly get figures out there, we will see that 66km be reduced to half? It certainly is not good advertising a product at (UK) 41 miles and changing it to 34 miles just before production. I ordered on the basis of 41 and now have implications on 34. personally my wife only needs 20 miles for her commute, but lies are lies I would say ... real shame. where in the world are you based? I am London .. .so weather is less of an overall issue.

@@elbowe1 I am from Belgium, so weather should be about the same. For our daily commute it's still ok, but like you said, lies are lies and I hate that! If that advertise it as 66km it shouldn't be 35km. Anyway all that put aside it's a really great car! I do think that offer a 8year warranty (80% range)... I do need to check my documents to be sure. But if so I am interested to see what my dealership will say about this on the first maintenance.

Thank you, stay tuned because we are already on it with the Discovery Sport and E-Pace hybrid. No need to apologise for the MINI, I have driven the Countryman PHEV and it is a great car. Stay safe my friend, Matt.

Mines really quiet with the engine running so no worries there

Hmm that is genuinely a very difficult one to answer because they are both very good cars. I think it would ultimately come down to which one you prefer the look of which is entirely subjective.

That is a tricky one to answer as our experience with the car was quite short, however on a long motorway journey combustion engines do perform very well. I don't think I could put a number on it without trying it myself to be totally honest.

@@SytnerTV Thanks anyway. How about a three way comparison of Evoque, Volvo and BMW real world hybrid mileage report?

I was told before shooting this video that you get both chargers with the car but for a definitive answer however you would need to get in touch with the retailer. Many thanks, Matt.

Double checked the spec brochure this morning and can confirm none of the cars get the home charger as standard. Only get the public charger. We all need to pay an extra £300 for one. Seems a bit daft to me.

@@spencerstocker7632 I've got one on order too, and did add the home charger at £300. However, I'm going to remove that option and use the £300 towards a home charger. Together with the governments OLEV grant of £350 that will be a £650 cost saving on the home charger, plus whatever it would have cost for an electrician to add an external 3-pin socket. Even though the home charger will be more, I can see lots of advantages over a 3-pin setup. Should they have included the 3-pin cable as standard? Maybe? But if they did there would be a lot of people who would just leave it in a cupboard at home for several years before throwing it away.

@@mikeseale8198 yea good idea. I will look into that. I already have a plug in hybrid BMW and it did come with a home charger. I just keep it plugged in the garage..

I have never understood why a mild hybrid such as these people need rapid chargers, most people will have more than enough time at work or at home to charge the small batteries using a home charge 3 pin plug.

It cost just under £3 and it took roughly 40 minutes to charge.

So roughly £3 to charge =30 miles and 40 minute waiting time , the average petrol engine will do 10 miles per £1 of fuel so basically its a waste of time paying all that money for hybrid version and sitting around waiting for it to charge , nowhere near as good as lexus hybrid my 2.5ltr IS300 does 60mpg easily and pulls like a train and is constantly charging up

Also, will the car stall if it has noto electrical charge or will it still run if it just gas petrol, and visa versa? Hope those are not ridiculous question?

Hi Keith, thank you. I think it possibly is the future for all brands. It is terrifying how close 2030 is. Stay safe my friend.

The other side

What are you getting in MPG an a journey of say 100miles? Interested as I'm not sure if I want P300E or pure petrol.

My wife has this car, its rapid off the mark, I've got a seat cupra and the evoque is a rocket up to 40-50. No bogging down, the torque is instant.

@@williamcouncil4018 thank you.

Yes it still hesitates it doesn’t know what it wants to do

@@skybluelandscapes Thank you. Since asking the question I have test driven a BMW X3 xDrive20i, an Evoque p200 and a Discovery p300e. The worst was the Evoque p200. There was a big delay but when it did change gear the performance was impressive. Second was the BMW. There was still an unacceptable delay to change gear but not as much as the Evoque. What was really disappointing about the BMW was that it didn't really feel powerful at all even though it has over 180 bhp. The Discovery PHEV, on the other hand was so much better. The response from the electric motor was instant and noticeable. Then the petrol engine kicked in alot quicker than either the Evoque p200 or the BMW gearboxes. Based on this experience I've ordered an Evoque p300e. I also really liked the performance of the p300e engine off the line....not only faster but a lot smoother than the gear changes in the p200's 9-speed box.

@@williamcouncil4018 I'd be interested in knowing how your wife is getting on re mpg. If she goes on a journey of say 100 miles wha sort of MPG does she get? We have a Mini E for local journeys but still interested in Evoque PHEV or would pure petrol be better?

Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly give this a go next time we are in a hybrid.

It’s a lot slower in EV mode. If on a slip road you might have to switch to hybrid if traffic to get ahead of but generally it’s fine. It will bat along well over the speed limit in ev mode if you want to but the range will obviously drop.

It would have to be a very short trip

@@pranavbhande1845 Where did you get this date from ?

Prices for the hybrid Evoque start at £44,650.

Of course that would be fine 😁

The cable locks in place once you lock the car to make sure that it can't be unplugged.

I will definitely try to say now less next time, I even noticed that myself.
