I think another reason why manufacturers fit larger engines to PHEVs is simply that they can do it without compromising their ability to meet emissions targets.
@@DamoDrives I think it would be better to hold the camera in your hand from now on or get someone to hold it for you as having it on your head has made a very jittery video that's not relaxing to watch.
Not driven the CHR but having driven a couple of Toyota’s they are very relaxing and well built but the drive of the Kuga is better and a bit more engaging
Maybe this is too late, but comparing a CH-R to a Kuga is not a fair comparison. Sure, a Toyota is known for their reliability, but this decision will be based on need for space. The Kuga is like 50% larger inside, and that matters. If you are a family of 5, the Kuga is decent to great, depending on your setup. The CH-R won’t ever be more than poor-decent. But if you are 2-3 people, the CH-R can be great
Feel for you 😳, think most of the car industry is going through issues both due to covid (lack of staff and a silicon shortage for the semi-conductors) are you in the uk ?
Was a fault with the supplier of the batteries and not actually Ford manufacturing the batteries (maybe QA during assembly could have picked up on it) do not know both sides of the story going on what the dealership had told me and a bit of research
Started with 0km of charge in the battery , had a trip of ~300km, 250km on highway - between 130km/h and 140km/h, and a fuel consumption of 6.7l/100km

Could it be because it was not parking between 2 cars??
I have it 21 plate love it wbat a car
They seem to be very much loved
Dont think the L on the gearshifter gives you more regeneration. The L gives you more engine break, and you are not supposed to use it normally
bloody hell man keep your hand more steady the amount of motion you are doing is enough to give me travel sickness
I am not holding the camera it’s on a head mount which is the POV part, might try a cheat mount

Shame you can’t buy a brand new one
Do you mean you are trying to buy 1 ?
@@DamoDrives been waiting months now, still no build date, it’s already slipped by 4 months

@@DamoDrives yes, in the U.K., I also work at Jaguar Land Rover and the situation with semi conductors is a nightmare
I purchased a new one
"nothing to do with Ford" very disappointing comment, got to question your independence now 🤔

Really
It’s that really to my comment or the original comment ?
