ICE DRIVER REVIEW FULL
Yes 800km+ easily on a full tank, I get 11+ km/L on expressways with a 75L tank you can do the math. Very few cars can manage 130kph average speed, and throughout my highway driving experience, you only gain 10 to 30 minutes by driving at 100+ instead of 80kph.Ģ.4L Accord. Anything below that is easily manageable driving at 80-100kph with two stops for charge, which can coincide with your breakfast and lunch breaks. You can do 900km to a full tank driving at 100 to 130, which car are we talking about?īTW, Nexon EV with its limited battery capacity and battery charging rate is going to be a problem on highway driving of more than 500km. Let us hope my ownership experience over the next 6-7 years is mostly trouble free. With the build, suspension and feelsome steering of the Compass it would be an absolute blast.) (But again, ive started hoping and praying Jeep comes out with an electric Compass at the earliest with similar or faster acceleration. My Trailhawk felt right down sluggish when i took it out in the city after 2 weeks with the Nexon. The acceleration, quietness and smoothness of EV has won me over completely. I for one am not going to travel more than that in a single drive.
ICE DRIVER REVIEW PLUS
If this car can go 200kms easily an 80kw battery in I4 and xc40 should do 375-400 effortlessly and for those who can afford the 110kw in merc eqe/eqs can go 450 plus kms easily. Though i am someone who loves to drive and we have owned and driven many driver centric cars like Jetta, Octavia, e250d, Fiesta, Ecosport ecoboost, old Figo and Compass extensively, after my one month with Nexon ive realised my future purchases will be only EV. Even though Max does 140kmph i find it irritating to cross 120 with the beeps.
180kms might make me change my driving style and give range anxiety in the regular Nexon EV, whereas i am confident i can easily make it in my Max.) Also how many drive continously at 130-150kmph on expressways when after 120kmph you get the warning beeps. (That is one of the main reasons i opted for Max over the regular EV. Maybe for someone using it as an only car it might not make sense due to the low range but for my running of 1600-1700kms / month within my city primarily and 2 trips/month to another city 180kms away it makes perfect sense. I saw some posts against EVs regarding range. Suffice to say, whatever i am posting are likely to be among the lower ranges one would get driving the EV Max.ģ. I saw one of the youtube videos showing a 8.6sec 0-100 and it feels as fast. But i am enjoying the acceleration and response so much i find it hard to drive like a saint. I can understand that when you are driving an electric car anyone would want to eke out the best figures. I saw lots of great figures at 90-100wh/kms from other owners. Comparing to City and Kia, i would say it is slightly better for ride/handling.Īlso for Chaffeur driven who do not need that extra 40–50kms the Prime is a better option for rear seat comfort due to the lower floor and v good thigh support.Ģ. But again this is only when you compare to cars a segment above.
Also on uneven roads and expansion joints it gets very slightly unsettled. At high speeds it tightens up but it comes in steps and not in a naturally progressive way like Ecosport or Compass and feels unnecessarily heavy at times. I had an Ecosport earlier and compared to that car, the build and highway stability of Nexon is slightly inferior, but suspension is definitely superior at low and medium speeds. I dont find much of a difference between the ICE and EV Nexon. Some other points i want to share in query to some posts posted earlier :ġ. I drove 2 weeks earlier in eco mode with regen at 2 and it showed 160Wh/km at speeds around 90-100kmph. At that speed and with 0 regen it was showing around 190Wh/km. I drove pretty enthusiastically and maintained 110-120kmph on the expressway. So even if you maintain higher speeds like 110-115kmph, 200kms can be easily covered on EV Max. Reducing that 6% i travelled 132 kms in 60% charge which equates to 220kms range. I also had to idle at the same spot waiting for an appointment for nearly 2 hours which consumed 6% charge(from 69-63%). The 132 kms between 2 cities was covered fully in City mode with regen off because the deceleration when i lift off was making the passenger sick.
