RX450h First Snow Driving Experience

Well the white stuff arrived overnight and I had to drive from Gloucester to Cirencester. 

Only a light dusting of snow over some ice. 

The grip from the Cross Climates was everything that had been reported. Fantastic. 

I kept the car in hybrid snow mode and everything was good including driving up the very steep Roborough Hill onto The Common. 

Across to Minchinhampton the road was lightly covered in snow and slush. 

Conditions much the same all the way to Cirencester. 

Very impressed with the RX especially as my average mpg showed as nearly 34mpg

Crossclimates are fantastic, and the smoothness of an electrified drivetrain makes it much easier to set off without breaking traction. My leaf on crossclimates is tenacious!

Well Gave the car and Cross Climates a good test today as I had to collect a birthday cake from a house in Minchinhampton near Stroud. The house we visited was in a road where it was still under about 4 inches of vrgn snow and on a slope. Car and tyres coped perfectly.

These pictures were taken on Minchinhampton Common when we went to The Old Lodge for a coffee.

Verdict on Cross Climates 5*
