the 50/50 0% deal is not that uncommon - Subaru have been running this for quite sometime. I was considering the Torres AWD but I can get a Forester with the same deal and it's a bit cheaper - but it's a Subaru with proven AWD and reliability. It's a shame the Torres is at the top end of the price range - I don't quite know why KGM have done this.
Hi Martha thanks for the input. We didn't know that Subaru were offering a similar 50-50 deal, but still, not sure we'd class 2 manufacturers in a market of over 40 as 'common'! The Forester is an interesting choice, but it's not quite an apples to apples comparison, it's a smaller car in all dimensions with 200 litres less boot space, far lower spec comparatively if you choose the cheaper (than the Torres K40 AWD) XE model, higher kerb weight with the same MPG even though it's a mild hybrid! The Torres is only available as a top model in AWD, in the same top model spec, the XE premium Forester is actually £1,100 more expensive. In terms of reliability, it's curious to see that Subaru only offer a 3 year 60k warranty Vs the KGM 5 year 100k for ICE and 7 year for EV. In actual fact, if you really want proven 4wd, off road domination and loads of space, then the Rexton is all of that for the same price as a Forester! Best of luck whichever you choose!
