Touchscreen interface dangerous and dumb

Other than the touchscreen feature, the car has been pretty good and I like it. My wife likes it. I will never buy another vehicle with just the touchscreen stuff. I want a knob I can quickly and safely manipulate without having to be distracted from watching the road.

Fantastic vehicle; even after 3 years

We’ve owned this gem for 3 weeks and it truly the best car we’ve ever owned. Great street appeal and tremendous acceleration and handling. Voice commends are disappointing. UPDATE: After 3 years, the vehicle is still a great piece of transportation. MPG over 3 years of mixed driving (21,000 miles) is 27.5. Sensus Voice commands still disappointing especially compared with my 2023 XC40 recharge with the Google based system. Only issues were 1) power mirrors went haywire and not holding their position and 2) rear trunk support struts made noise. Both items covered by warranty.

Start with the pros. The vehicle is well built. Fit and finish is good. Seats are comfortable and the interior materials are first class. The engine and transmission are paired well and the vehicle accelerates well. The brakes work well. The AWD system is seamless. The Google interface is one of the best I have used, and it understands verbal commands. The Cons. If you touch the gas pedal and release, then press again, the vehicle hesitates as it decides whether to us the 48 volt motor or gas engine to move the car from a start again. There is excessive tire noise at highway speeds. The gas mileage is not great for a hybrid. The seats could use a little more bolster. The engine is a little noisy, should be a little more quiet for a premium vehicle. The Harmon Kardon upgrade is TERRIBLE. I previously owned stereo stores. The sound is only centrally located, there is not an equalizer or real tone controls, there is no fader or balance controls (only driver/front/rear emphasis) and the sub-woofer/surround controls have little effect. The final decision to trade this car was the car leaked oil all over my garage after a dealer oil change service because they did not tighten the drain plug.

One serious flaw

There is no way to turn off the engine auto stop start. In Florida at a stop light, air conditioning reduced. Unfortunately, a “fatal” flaw with this otherwise nice package.

This car is quite attractive inside and out. However I I am surprised and disappointed at the gas mileage with a 2.0 engine and electric start I expected better gas mileage. 2nd the backup camera turns off in many instances when needed. One example when changing your temperature control while in reverse the camera does not come on again although I may be backing up. 3rd the screen electronics are too difficult to use and creates safety concerns. The screen is far too difficult to make changes and frequently requires attention to the screen which takes your focus off driving.
