  1. Must admit I thought it was last quarter 2022?
  2. On the 450+ I presume one can precondition the cabin temperature whilst the car is plugged in? If so surely it must have an electric heater?
  3. It's worth remembering these 'self-charging' hybrids are really only glorified stop-start systems, not meant to be driven on pure electric for any appreciable distance, think manoeuvring on one's driveway or in a car park. The new NX450+ is a step toward full electric driving being a plug-in hybrid and a much bigger battery. Best of both worlds at the moment, giving a decent EV range (think short trip to the shops or urban commute of 40miles) but still has the 'self-charge' fall-back to further when needed. What I don't know is do they have a separate electric powered heater for the cabin? I know one can pre-warm the car but otherwise the ICE will power up to provide warmth, even if it doesn't actually drive the wheels.
  4. As it says in the owner's handbook, leave in D unless stopped for a long time. NEVER shift to N as the car cannot recharge the traction battery in neutral.
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the location list and there is Other/Non UK 👍
  6. To be fair not sure why the OP has put London as his location though. (is there a London in the Netherlands?)
  7. "Tyre skip" aka "crabbing" is quite common (on cars with wide low profile tyres) especially in the cooler months but this is more a sudden jolt rather than a vibration. When I experienced it for the first time (tight right turn out of my drive, frosty morning) i felt like I'd driven over a brick!
  8. And step, 3 Depress the brake pedal, is simply a safety thing to stop the car moving, rather than the usual electrical signal to release the shift lever?
