The RC is Dead, Long Live the RC

[whitenemesis]

Just collected my new RC300h, now in Azure Blue, replacing my Sonic Red 2016 model.

Filled the tank with V-Power and looking forward to exploring the suspension and steering upgrades

The red RC was a lovely colour, but I can't see the images of the new one.

 

[whitenemesis]

Try these..

 

[fabes]

Wow, that's colourfull
Love the outside, but them are certainly red seats.....

Any difference or better battery range/power?

 

[ringway]

I like it.
All of it!

Many subtle differences.. Stays on electric longer and faster, must be programming 'cos the spec is the same. Somehow they have made even quieter inside!! Ride has greater compliance, without loosing control in corners. Apparently the AVS (automatically variable suspension) now has 300 steps of adjustment (up from 9). Discovering new stuff each drive. It's already meeting it's declared Fuel Combined WLTP mpg of 45 around town..

Blue and red is a great combination

Can that be eerie at times?

Can that be eerie at times?

Yes, quite surreal especially at night.
I actually opted for the upgraded sound system (Mark Levinson) because the car's so quiet I thought it might actually be worth it and my word they've done a great job tailoring the system to the car (2000hrs of sound testing in the car by ML engineers, apparently)

The seats aren't really that bright.. honest
