Interested in buying a 2015 AB HEV model and wondered what ownership was like? How does reliability and servicing fair against the 3.0tdv6 etc?

Any help from owners would be great!

Yes got 65 plate hybrid and I bought it at a main dealer in Southampton . It very easy to live with . Be aware there are 2 versions : Early model 340 bhp with a road tax of £210 or the later model with 354 bhp and a lower emissions and a road tax of £180 . 2015 look like it was the change over period , it looks like the 65 plate cars are all the lower emission models ??

Driving is slightly different in that every low speed take off from stationary in on electric but if you press the peddle the engine kicks in . If you floor it at any speed both the normal engine and the electric motor give truly fantastic acceleration .
