I've heard various YTers say the e-Niro doesn't spin out as much as the Kona and that's the same drivetrain, but I guess a better tuned traction control system? or maybe just better tuned software/firmware? nuts if so. They need to open source car firmware so we can mess around with power curves![]()
wow if you can cope with 160 mile real world winter range that Etron is an insane amount of car for your money.Yes. Although a bigger battery than the eNiro - just a big heavy car and range suffers accordingly. Etron would have cost almost double the price of the eNiro new (62k vs 34k).

People on the eTron facebook groups finding Dealers offering 55's for less than this price as well. Looks like they're struggling to shift their old lease stock.
isn't that one of the cautions for long term ownership they are compromising battery life to get the charging curve,I really liked the 55 when I tested it, just such a lovely place to sit in. Charge curve is good too
My I-Pace has been limited to 72% battery capacity for the last 6 months and hasn't been an issue tbhThe e tron looks nice although range is a bit pants.
I'm guessing that you're waiting on Jaguar to sort this out for you? 6 months seems a bloody long time to be waiting though! Or have you gone over 100k miles and it's not covered any more?My I-Pace has been limited to 72% battery capacity for the last 6 months and hasn't been an issue tbh
Day to day - doesn't affect any journeys but just requires plugging in more often
Long journeys - Not too many of these but I personally don't mind stopping every ~150 miles for a top up tbh.
You could get a 250 mile range car but that's 3-4 hours of driving without a stopand if you do stop after 2 hours your battery is still at 40% and you don't get the benefit of the steep bit of the charge curve

It's covered, booked in for April lolI'm guessing that you're waiting on Jaguar to sort this out for you? 6 months seems a bloody long time to be waiting though! Or have you gone over 100k miles and it's not covered any more?![]()
I ended up going with the Engage, purely because it was cheaper than the other models, this is essentially a work / family car. My wife has an ICE and may upgrade that to something bigger if I feel its a pain on longer journeys.What spec did you go for? I do like the look of them, test drove one and enjoyed it, Nissan were great , just chucked me the keys and told me to bring it back with 20% before the day was out
That's exactly one of the reasons why I ordered it, to me it looks futuristic, internally it looks very well done as well.Haven't seen many on the road but they look good in photos!

Or many stops without being able to charge.You could get a 250 mile range car but that's 3-4 hours of driving without a stop![]()
Damn. What's that 1000 miles, 30 hours a week driving? Adding 50k miles onto a car each year?I'm replacing my ice vehicle so it has to have good range.
I'm doing a 70 mile journey to and from work during the week and then nearly double that on the weekends to see the in-laws and parents.
I'll be using a home charger and would rather charge during the nights at cheap elec rather than the forecourts.
