Added a new difference found to the first post.:
Armrest storage compartment now has a light in it, no more digging for coins in the dark

At least 9.0 L/100 km @ 120 kph (GPS) or 125 kph (dashboard).

That is much higher than I get (we both have the old PHEV), I wonder why it could be? What tyre pressure do you run?
After about 5000+km of long trips in the PHEV I get between 6.7 and 7.3 depending on number of occupants, luggage and use of Aircon .
I just completed a 200km trip on a flat battery, speed 114 set on cruise. The MMCS read 7.2 l/100km at the end of the trip with me and 2 kids, boot full to windows, Aircon on however it wasn't a particularly hot day.

- I spoke about 125 kph on the dash, and you speak about 114, isn't it ? So there is a significant gap of 11 kph.

- I spoke about a constant speed of 125 kph and you speak about an average 7.2 measured at the end of a trip

- Fragge spoke about a charged car at the beginning of a trip, not me

But you can be reassured that even on long trips on the motorways, I never reached 9 l/100 km at the end of the trips (for the reason that it is impossible to keep a constant high speed on long trips, of course). Nevertheless, it's easy to keep 125 kph during 10-20 km and measure the consumption just for this short part but resetting the computer.
I tried to answer precisely to Jaycee, by the way

Where is the sun glass storage in the roof?

If you have the GX4h (2016) with the sunroof there's no room for the sunglasses holder. I think there is one on the GX3 (without the sunroof). I don't know what the position was on the older model, but I wouldn't be surprised to find it's the same.

Well I have hunted high and low and can't find one - I have the GX4 with sunroof so guess it's not an option.

No sunglasses holder on my 2014 Gx3h
