Most likely a 62KWh Leaf.
Don't need the range compared with the 40KWh, but 210bhp as opposed to 150bhp appeals.

Probably not for you, but on HUKDs right now, there's a post for 110kW(150ps)/40kWh battery Leaf Tekna lease for a net £217pm over 36 months.Andy Beats wrote: ↑Wed Jun 02, 2021 1:06 pmMost likely a 62KWh Leaf.

The GTI is surprisingly good on those long journeys.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:31 am The Polo performed admirably on my once a fortnight commute this morning - 32miles, 80mph almost all the way down and 44mpg. Amazing - presumably the GPF is completely empty as it's done 2 x 64 mile round trips in a row and not been used in between. Last journey tomorrow, to Prestige Performance Yorkshire in Selby.
It is when the GPF is clear - I usually get 39mpg for tgat journey. Had 46mpg Newcastle to York before,, doing 80mph. Stuck to 70 on the way back and got 53mpg.S_94 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:11 pmThe GTI is surprisingly good on those long journeys.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 11:31 am The Polo performed admirably on my once a fortnight commute this morning - 32miles, 80mph almost all the way down and 44mpg.

I went to London last weekend, 360 mile round trip with 4 people in the car. Averaged 46mpg. Cost roughly £56 in fuel all together.
Right spec, Tekna is the only one worth bothering with.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:05 pm

Compared to an EV or a Range Rover Evoque it’s likely to be noisier, but IMO not excessively so. I don’t find my GTI+ excessively noisy and wouldn’t have an issue using it for a 360 round trip. I did some longer runs in my previous GTI, including an airport run which was a 300 - 320 mile round trip and didn’t find it noisy or tiring.Andy Beats wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 12:43 pmJeez, that's not a trip I'd fancy making in the Gti, way too noisy
Yeah in all fairness it was a bit noisy but when you've got music on and chatting it's not something that you notice.SRGTD wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 1:09 pmCompared to an EV or a Range Rover Evoque it’s likely to be noisier, but IMO not excessively so.

It's all relative, of course, but I do find it a noisy wee car - especially on tyre roar.SRGTD wrote: ↑Thu Jun 03, 2021 1:09 pm

Jealous of the MPG.monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 9:58 am 110 miles to drop off this morning, doing 80mph almost all the way and it averaged 47.3mpg!
