You gave the original msrp but didn’t disclose how much you actually paid for it since it’s used, kinda confused about that one.

The blind spot monitors are definitely my favourite safety feature, and the adaptive cruise control that slows you down when approaching another vehicle when you can't overtake, and then accelerates you back up quickly when you do, is awesome. I have the 1.8 which has enough get up and go for me, but does encourage a more relaxed sedate driving style, which is no bad thing. The best thing of all though is fuel economy. That's why I bought a hybrid and I haven't been disappointed. In the past I've found mpg computers hopelessly optimistic, but in the C HR it's pretty much bang on. I use the brim to brim method of working out fuel consumption, and so far my worst return was 55mpg (Imperial) and my best has been 62mpg on a long constant 70mph motorway trip, which give or take a few miles, is what the computer says. That's well up on my previous Hyundai ix35 diesel which averaged 45 mpg. Also, in the UK at least, even outside of the new warranty, each time you have it serviced by Toyota, they roll on the warranty another year up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, and it's not expensive. The hybrid system remains under warranty another five years after that. I've got a friend who runs one of these as a taxi and has done over 150,000 and the only issue over and above normal wear and tear, was with the heated seats. Great car

Everything you mentioned it doesn’t have it is not related to it being a Tremor. It is just that you didn’t got it fully loaded. I have a fully loaded Tremor and it has the lux package with the heated seats and steering. Sun roof too and a rear sliding window, power inverter etc.

Love this hybrid, but I hate the fact he internet says it has fog lights integrated a by the headlights, they look more lijeDTRLs than fog lights Why are headlights becoming an extinct feature as brands move headlights further down the front they don’t operate well in th Florida rain fog lights aren’t a “ convenience feature! They’re necessary for bad weather

It may not be a true sports suv, but it does have a reasonably powerful motor, enough for effortless overtakes. Combined with the adaptive suspension and active stabilisers it’s surprising how fast this car can hustle through the corners yet remain calm and unflustered. Still the best luxury SUV out there. Engine is both port and direct injected.

I thought the parking assist feature was a gimmick on my Palisade....until somebody parked so close I couldn't get into the driver's seat. I used the assist feature and it was brilliant.

🤣 Gotta love Mercedes marketing material. But I say it as they name it so you know what you're getting. I haven't tested the nav's ability to locate charging off the beaten path, but any place there are businesses or people it does a decent job. As always, thanks for watching, aperxmim!

Plug in hybrid sucks. You have to be very consistent on driving to take advantage of the hybrid. It has 35 extra mph fully charge. It takes about 14 to 15 hours charge. Not my cup of tea!!!
