If only that torque came in at 1500 RPM, 2k is just a little to high for low revers like me, I want to be changing gear at 2k. look forward to your lockdown mpg results lol

No probs, glad I could be of help.

Sure, a good 700 miles were pre lockdown and start/stop with a stretch of only around 3 miles I can get up to 50mph before stopping again.

Feel everyone’s pain, waited 5 months for mine. Turned up early March and managed a couple of weeks driving before the lock down! going into work one in five days has allowed me to sit on the A2 (normally wouldn’t go near it pre lockdown in the mornings) and put the ACC on and let it pull itself into work! Been getting great MPG from the 1.0tsi probably never to be seen again after lockdown! as long as I keep it in the 2,000 RPM rev range round town it’s got a little step up in power from the turbo. Only thing that is a little annoying is having to drop into 1st gear on roundabouts otherwise it dies or you won’t have enough power to get away quick enough below 2,000 RPM. Can’t hear the engine really at all. can’t wait to go for a long cruise after lockdown. I've managed 800 miles since beginning of March! Mpg pic below

think I might of made a boo boo, looking at the title of the section I’m in it’s the ACC section. Looks as though looking at old posts this to adjust the responsiveness of the ACC acceleration. weird, I’m sure you can forgive me for making that assumption!

there we go, is this DCC?

like you say I’ve been looking it up but can’t see it anywhere with the 1.0tsi. I’ve got comfort/normal/sport as the options. Will take a pic in a bit

My Quartz grey se tech

Well, it arrived today. It had done 300 miles down from Manchester in the outing rain so was less than impressed when it turned up but it’s had a wash and I’m very pleased! set everything up ok, one thing to note was that I’ve got the option of ‘comfort mode’ on my se technology drive modes. It selects ok, isn’t blanked out at all. I was surprised as I didn’t think the se tech came with the DCC suspension. It rides like a magic carpet anyone else got an se tech with ‘comfort mode’ or is that a 2020 thing that they all have?

Going to give that a whirl when on the next trip out

Well adaptive cruise cruise control on the se tech should even the playing field on mpg which I’ve done a lot of reading on and it seems a great tool as long as it’s used on the right roads. had to get my head around ACC on a Manual car though, apparently you just change down when slowing and dipping the clutch doesn’t disable it as it does on some other cars apparently. well clearing my garage out to retire my 18 year old trusty RAV4 to make way for the Karoq on Tuesday!

great info thanks, My drive is a crawl into Canary Wharf everyday so I’m going to be getting major use out of the start/stop system I think. (Interested you hear thoughts on that whether it gets annoying) I currently do about 270 miles to a 50 litre tank which works out about 25mpg in my petrol RAV4. now I know this is subjective but if your all doing about 42mpg I could be looking at at least 400 mile range to a 50 litre tank?? Does that sound like what your getting? Eco cars are new to me, diesel era passed me by!

That’s great, mines a manual so should be marginally better. The1.0 tsi actually has more torque much lower down than my RAV4 2.0 4cyl so not coming from a diesel, it should have more useable power on paper

Finally after 5 months my se tech in quartz grey is being delivered next week! had to visit a showroom a few weeks back to remember what they look like! How’s everyone finding the 1.0tsi in the Karoq I’m mainly crawling in traffic everyday with the odd jaunt away for a weekend so power is a non issue. interested to hear real world mpg people have been gettting specific to the 1.0tsi? my current RAV4 does no more than 25mpg on a good day so the difference should be vast I’m hoping.

Ok thanks, really hard to find anyone talking about it. that can only mean one thing- it’s not worth talking about! Lol
