I have just returned from a 3 hour journey, part of this journey I was in a traffic jam for 45 mins on the M25, stop-start at very low speeds no more then 6mph, flat road, some decline, during this time the car was in EV mode most of the time. Heating was on 21 degrees, 7 degrees outside, during...

I enjoy a similar experience to Hybrid Ann. In and out of EV mode also depends on driving style, terrain and weather. But from my experience I have achieved 62mpg when my last vehicle on the same journey was 50mpg

Has any owners of a ZS Hybrid noticed a performance or fuel efficiency difference when using premium fuel?

I have had a similar experience. Heating is normally around 22 or 23 and EV kicks is frequently. I have also used Auto mode and tend to get a similar experience unless I require 24 or above temperature.

Thanks for this. Interesting comment regarding premium fuel, I have not tried that option, may do when I next to a long journey. My mileage is over 2000 and mpg is 54. I would say 30% of this mileage is motorway driving

I have driven in colder and slightly warmer weather. At night with additional power drain from lights, heating etc it spends less time in EV mode. But during the day and warmer weather it spends more time in EV mode. On a 200mile trip mainly motorway I got 62mpg and when driving through road...

I have noticed rear brake lights on level 2 and 3, but only when the reduction in speed is quite firm or sudden. If I reduce acceleration slowly over a longer distance they don't. But that would be the same in any manual car as well.

I have seen a couple of HS's but no ZS Hybrids, but I know a few have been sold as the garage have posted new sales on their social.

Yes. I only controlled the airflow and temperature.

I have driven from London to Nottingham a number of times and have not found the wind noise unacceptable, even been able to have the radio volume reasonably low. My previous car had low profile tyres and the road noise was louder. I do experience high revs towards the top of an incline, I come...

I am also in Kent, Silver ZS

I used the app when the weather was icy and frost on the screen. It worked ok, if it de frosted the ice I assume it would demist the screen

Hi, I have had my ZS Hybrid since December. Driving a 200 mile journey it managed 62 mpg, most of the journey was motorway. Around town in the milder weather it runs extremely well. Yes I get higher revs towards the top of an incline, if I back off the accelerator it drops and then drives ok...
