AI Market Summary

Brand-new stock with zero recorded mileage; confirm registration date and dealer paperwork before purchase to ensure authenticity.
Pricing up 15% year-on-year and at upper end of range — shop actively across the 9 listings; negotiate on delivery, dealer costs, or warranty extensions rather than list price.
PHEV battery degrades 2–3% annually after 5 years; replacement costs €8,000–€12,000 out of warranty — ensure full 8-year battery cover in writing and clarify what degradation % voids it.
Before handover, test charge via both 230V home outlet and DC fast-charger (if dealer has one) to rule out early OBC or port faults; low-speed city drive to check 7DCT smoothness during battery-to-engine transition.
Dual-clutch can judder in stop-start traffic when battery assist engages — not a deal-breaker but worth experiencing firsthand; ask dealer if any software updates address this.

estimated per year

PHEV maintenance is lighter than equivalent petrol SUV; critical: must keep 12V battery topped up with regular charging cycles to avoid parasitic drain; no transmission fluid change required on 7DCT before 120,000 km; inverter and high-voltage harness inspection essential from year 5 onwards.

Annual service (year 1–2)Oil change (5L 5W-30 synthetic), filter, fluid top-ups, battery management system health check; PHEV servicing lighter than ICE
