Hello, new to the forum,
Been looking at a PHEV GX4h as a company car, not drove one yet but been to a local dealer for a look around one and liking so far, more so from a BIK point of view.
From reading pages and pages of threads on the forum, my only 2 concerns seem to be MPG on petrol only on a long run and BHP when the batteries are flat. (is it only 120bhp from the NA petrol unit ? )
Coming from a 5 series, its got a lot of work to do to tick the boxes. i dont do any business miles, so the full fuel cost will be coming out of my pocket.
My commute is between 4 miles and upto 10 miles when I include school runs 3 times a week with no access to charge at work. Ideally I woul like to do all my local driving on battery, but im thinking when the commute is done, get home, put it on charge, unplug, supermarket on petrol (VERY hilly around me and my current diesel 5 serieis only pulls max 28-30mpg avg local due to the terrian and warm up times).
As you can see, im trying to decide if this is the right car for my needs or just a big petrol drinker which i will have to live with for 4 years.
So, any thoughts....
Thanks for reading.
