Hi, I'm back on this forum after several years and created a new account.
I still have a trusty Mk1 Leon Cupra 225, which is still going well and with just a little rust and a water leak!
But time has come to change car I think, after 17 years with it!
I'm interested in the Cupra Leon Estate eHybrid, and have some questions about driving it:
My driving/Me:
- I do quite a lot of shortish journeys delivering my daughter to swimming, cricket, hockey, school etc, most of which will be around 10 miles round trip in a day, but sometimes will be up to 30 miles round trip, mostly on smaller A/B roads.
- I want to do day and over night trips to North Wales (150m round trip), perhaps once a month
- I'll drive into the Peak District for a 60m round trip every few weeks or so
- occasional longer trips to the lake District or Scotland, or maybe abroad, staying in Hotels/cottages etc
- I have a driveway, so expect to charge every night
- I do care about the environment
- I can be an enthusiastic driver at times.
1) whats its real world EV range - will most of my weekly journeys be covered so long as I charge overnight
2) on longer trips, say 100+ miles in a day, starting fully charged, what economy (mpg) will I likely get once the battery is depleted
3) on any trip, once the battery is depleted, what performance should I expect from the 1.4L engine?
4) is it any fun compared to my current car?
