XC40 Realistic Range
Hi all, new member here.
Having just bought a 72plate XC40 Recharge Plus Plug-In hybrid. What is the realistic range we'll get out of the battery? Had it plugged in til battery said full...27miles. Got no extras, other than radio, on. Is this what we'll be looking at...and nowhere near the 57 (I think) that is advertised. Any tweaks/setting changes anyone can recommend before we have a play? TIA. |

My V60 twin engine always shows 30m range once charged and 22-25 in practice, but it was designed for up to 30m. Yours should be 40-45 in practice, maybe a touch more. |

When it's warm like now, we get 25 on Pure and 20 to 22 on Hybrid. In winter it was 18 to 20 on Pure on out T5 Recharge PHEV. Then on a 160 mile each way run it returns 60 odd on the way up using all the battery then 42 on the way down in Polestar mode with no battery. I don't think that's bad. It works perfectly for us, obvious I would love 40 moles range but sadly not on the XC40. Could you have seem Kilometers instead of miles. |

You can definitely get quite savvy by building up charge before you get to urban areas in your trips, rather than just leaving it in hybrid. |

2.5m/kWH is decent enough as an average to work to. |

We picked up our XC40 B3 plus last week and are disappointed with the economy figures so far. From the deals to home is dual carriageway apart from 1 mile. So to date we have done around 105 miles at cruising speed and the economy is showing as 34.5 MPG at best. I did a trip computer reset to see if that would improve but nothing drastic.
All the literature says up to 42.2 MPG for the B3 engine. Anyone else think the mileage figures have been misrepresented? I'm hoping it's just the car settling and computer needing time to read correctly but have a nagging doubt that the dealerships have left a bit of packing of plastic in the air box somewhere. Anyone else suffered this? |

It's always worth a look at this site. No B3 entries yet, but B4 average is 36.

Thanks, I kind of knew manufacturers used artistic license and hopefully it will settle but I'd like it to be closer to the 40+ mpg figure.
