Beiträge von dmi AWD oder Kuga PHEV

Zitat von SDe

I also reviewed some phev cars, and at the end I dropped this kind of pro/con list because my focus was not on all of those points. You will have to make compromises with every car, just pick your mvp specs.

So, I decided that 1.300kg and the small boot space is good enough. Now I have almost 600km ODO and 450 of them are EV. I‘m 1.90m tall and the DMi fits better than others to me

What about the headroom in the back with your 1,90 meters. Is it not compromised with the panaroof. I am 1,83 meter so not very tall but will sit in the driver seat.

I made a test drive in both. The interior of the Kuga is classic, booring and a lot of hard plastic. The Dmi is modern, nice materials and comfortable. The Kuga has the best driving behaviour especially in the corners and the lane keep assist works muich better than in the dmi. The dmi steering is light maybe even too light even in the sport mode. The left-right lean was not as bad as I expected. In Australia the DMI got an update because of the many complaints about the left-right lean in corners. If the European version will also get it that what be great. In my opinion the advantage of the DMI is that you drive always (99%) electric even if the battery is 25%. In the Kuga you drive more like a hybride, even in EV mode the combustion engine kicks in even if you don't do a kick down but accelerate a bit especially at speeds beyond 80 km. So real EV driving in the Kuga is difficult. The Booth of the Kuga is bigger and in the dmi I really miss the tie eyes in the booth as well as the 12 V connection. The tow weight of 2100 is again an advantage against the 1300 kg of the dmi. In exterior design for me are ok for both. THe dmi has than again 6 years warrenty the Kuga only 2 years. If they would improve the suspention a but in the dmi and make the steering more dynamic I prefer the dmi. The Kuga however has also its pros. difficult difficult decision

Both cars are the same in price (if you get the winter pack, technology pack and electric towbar with the Kuga), the Kuga does not have the panaroof in this spec.

Important for me are space, economic driving, good seats also on long drives (I have a lower back problem), good functional safety options.

In the attached sheet (in Dutch but you will understand) I tried to list the pros and cons of each car.

You can answer in German language no problem.
