It's definitely not a hot hatch.

300 bhp with a hatch ?? Does it need a R badge

[Jasper3.0]

Sub 5 second 0-60 does that not count as hot these days. Blimey things must have moved on a bit…….

In 1982 my xr2 had 96bhp and was a hot hatch!!
My Bentayga has near 600bhp it hardly ever gets over 3000 rpm - my ragging it days are gone but I hanker after the best engine ever before its too late / the Mercedes 5.5 supercharged V8. Had it in a SL and CLS and never had a better engine

At the end of the day it's an expensive fridge

It also has the wheelbase of a Range Rover Vogue and weighs over 2ton!

My thoughts on a very rushed (by me) 30minute drive. Coming from our I-pace S.

Tonnes of space inside

Felt lighter in its feet than the ipace; a few hash plastics about; felt smaller than in probably is; no rattles; felt like a homogeneous thing rather than a collection of parts; dash is like going from an old nokia to a iPhone; was faster than the rwd version should feel; I loved the colour (always had a thing for crayon); steering was direct; felt nimble; ride had its odd moments, but not as bad a some have suggested (ipace in on 18” dune buggy tyres with steel suspension; felt more chuckable than the ipace; clearly a gap in perceived quality between the two, but not as far as you would think. Tech confusing but if I had rtfm it would have helped.

I received an email offering me one today.

Only colour choices are gold or black.

I’m undecided.

Project 45 ? The gold is silver looks nice with black interior. With black you lose the front grill drama I feel

Yes, P45.

Cut and paste from email:

Gravity Gold with Light Grey and Dark Teal interior
Phantom Black exterior with Black interior
Phantom Black exterior with Light Grey and Dark Teal interior

To be honest, i’m not massively enthused by the colour choices available.

Me neither. I have asked if they can supply proper images of the three colour choices, as that might help a yes/no decision.

Would you mind posting them to the thread (if they send them)?

I've got the same email, would be good to see them.
I don't really like the gold so would like to see the Black with Black interior

Can anyone give me an idea of how much you were quoted to lease this?

My dealer has come back with 48 x 560.
His quote for the Ultimate was significantly less (£511).
Thanks in advance

I have a email quote that is 1+47 that is lower than that. Mainly because I have set the mileage at 5kpa. The excess mileage cost was so low and to make no sense to go for a higher mileage. I assume that a lease cost is calculated with the residual in there, which a 10kpa mileage may well affect.

The ousted I have for ultimate were higher than p45. Initial quote for p45 was higher, but alternative funded was used. I’ll share lease price when I have it confirmed with an accepted quote.
