You should, though. Go have a test drive. It’s quite an eye opener.

With Octopus our rate is 20.79p/kwh. Octopus Go is circa 7p for 4.5 overnight hours and 27.5 outwith. Not worth changing when using granny.

Nope. I’m using the granny charger supplied by the dealer. I have a 13A socket in garage. This provides 2.2kw/h. Okay, that’s not a lot but more than sufficient, as we charge twice a week for 12 hours. We don’t have a tariff that gives reduced overnight rate. It’s not worth it owing to the rate out with the reduced rate period. We have an Audi TT Roadster which we can use for trips where the Mokka-e might require a recharge. Public charging way too costly.

Had a quick look but too few available near me. Also, the PCP deals were way more expensive than those for the Mokka-e. This being my first electric I was erring on the side of caution - just in case I fell out of love with it. Might visit the Elroq at end of PCP.

Sorry to be leaving our wonderful 1.5 DSG but, owing to my and the boss's advancing years and not wanting to miss out on the experience we decided to replace the Karoq with an electric vehicle - Vauxhall Mokka-e Ultimate. Choosing the Mokka-e (23 reg) boiled down, for the most part, to the controls for climate/heating and infotainment being knobs and buttons versus touch screen which is almost universal in the competition. I've included 'for the most part' because in the test drives there was nothing of any real significance between the Mokka-e, MG4., VWID3 in terms of acceleration/ride/comfort. Where the Mokka-e prevailed was how unbelievably quiet and refined it was - yes, even more refined than the Karoq and that's saying something. The most extraordinary aspect of this refinement is the almost total absence of tyre noise Downsides: Much smaller boot. Significantly less leg room in rear. No rear of cabin illumination - yep, hard to believe. Upsides. Instant acceleration of course. Reduction in running costs. Zero emissions. Anyway, we really did enjoy our times with the Karoq and previous Kamiq. Good luck to all. We might need it considering the current Trump turmoil.

Removed space saver. Drone unchanged. However, while coasting on a downhill, very, very smooth stretch of tarmac I noticed drone had gone. I tried accelerating and immediately the drone returned. Took foot off the pedal and drone disappeared. I conclude from this that the droning is attributable to the engine/exhaust. Ah well, don’t suppose there’s much I can do about that.

Finally, someone answered my question. Thank you, Stonekeeper👍

I don’t know if it has or it hasn’t. Hence my question: How do you select Eco mode????

How do you select ‘eco’ mode???

Tried manual mode. Couldn't tell if any change in drone, as increased revs predominated. One other thought has occurred. When I collected the Karoq it didn't have a spacesaver, just an inflator kit. I swapped that for a Kamiq spacesaver. It's not the same as the one for the Karoq - it's fatter. As a result the boot tray isn't seated around its outer edge, just sits on top of the tyre. I'll remove the space saver and see if that has any effect on the drone.

Please clarify for me. You only use 'normal and sport'. Does that mean you have Eco mode but don't use it, or your don't have option of Eco mode.?

Interested in you saying 'using eco for just popping around local streets'. Didn't know you could select ECO mode. Is it a feature of the Sportline DSG that's absent from the SE Drive DSG?

Hi That link is to the Kamiq. We were aware the Kamiq was still available in 1.0L DSG. croquemonsieur was referring to the Karoq. It's not available with 1.0L DSG.

Yes, the 1.5 ACT engine in mine has 2-cylinder mode. But, the drone isn't limited to when in that mode only.

No. Mine is SE Drive. Fixed non-adjustable seats and cord/moulded parcel shelf.
