WhatNext

I am looking to downsize from an XC60 to an LBX, specifically the Takumi derivative. I test drove a design derivative which does not have some features of a Takumi. 1. What do the steering wheel paddles control in a hybrid with CVT gearbox? 2. If you are a registered user, do you still get the prompts to accept the terms of voice/multimedia, etc on start up? 3. Can you get the car to remember the "hold" function 4. Android Auto is wired only (v wireless CarPlay) ... WTF in car released in 2024??? But I see Toyotas now offer wireless AA and Carplay. How likely will Lexus will push a software update to "fix" this 5. How much better is Lexus matrix headlights (AHS) v the standard LED. ( I currently have matrix headlights on my Volvo) 6. Can you disable to beeping when you lock the car. Really why does it have to beep? Otherwise ticks a lot if boxes for me (real world 60 mpg achievable v 30 mpg on the Volvo. Obviously not a fair comparison as the XC60 is from a class above, but I don't need a big car anymore. Thanks

Interesting, I was going to ask the same question. Is it likely to to mistake as Li-ion is definitely superior v NiMH I note the battery size is 5.0 Ah v 4.3 in the Toyota I test drove a Premium Plus today, it's a decent drive, although I feel some of the switch gear are a bit too Toyota'ish - read plasticky (e.g. the indicator stalks and "hold" "EV" buttons) I am downsizing from an XC60 (almost got an NX last time, but the touchpad and lack of Android Auto in previous NX was a deal breaker)
