Best video of this models performance in the whole internet, congrats and thank you.

Very interesting video. Seriously considering a T5 model. Difficult deciding if 25 miles electric is going to be enough. I think a visit to the dealers will help decide.

I bought the T5 Recharge last month,,,, 25 miles on EV is enough in the suburbs , I have driven 500 miles and just spent £35 on petrol in 5 weeks ... brilliant car if used smartly and charged x 4 per week so 12 hours charging (in my garage at night)

I noticed something strange:
min. 0:00:
mileage: 3230
TM: 0.0
----------------
min. 3:43:
mileage: 3240 (+10 km from departure)
TM: 7.3 (+7.3 km) !!! WRONG!!! (this should have read 10) - or, I´m wrong?
----------------
min. 5:27:
mileage: 3249 (+19 km from departure, and not 16.3 km)
TM: 16.3 (this should have read 19)
----------------
...and so on till the end where the range should be around 52-53 km.
I made a mistake somewhere, or?
Strange!
Anyway, I was never able to rich a 50 km el. range. But this is because you had an average speed of 36,5 km/h.
Nice wideo, though!

hello, how to understand this video? I see only driving, and no data. There is no table with fuel consumption as in the second video.

Are you planning new KIA Niro HEV test?

[@ecodriver1746]

I'll ask the dealer.

Hi I have a XC40 T5 Momentum in Uruguay and can´t reach more than 30km of pure electric autonomy, I have trayed with and without AC and no way, is there any recomendation from your side? Thanks

[@ecodriver1746]

You drive in B or D mode?

[@pablolandin991]

@@ecodriver1746 Hello, thanks for your answer, I have trayed both modes D and B, the dealedr recomend B to regenerate, but as I see on D mode , it regenerate and have more sinergy

[@Redsquirrel007]

How did you manage to get it start with 45? I have a new my2023 T5 recharge with polestar optimization. Even if I leave it to recharge all night, at battery full it always says 40. Never managed more than 40

[@ecodriver1746]

Maybe the Polestar Optimization costs range as it is performance orientated.

The right answer is:
- when you drive in "hybrid" mode, you´ll see a range of 40 km;
- when you drive in "pure" mode, you´ll see a range of 45 km.
So, the answer is: put the car in "pure" mode!
