12 months is a stinger. I placed my order in August on the maybes they would release the GTS. I ordered from leeds U.K. I believe they had 4 saloon/sedan and 4 sport tourismo.
But as you know supply is drying up and slowing up so who knows when the next lot are coming.

i first took a test drive in July 21. It was the dealerships first Cross Tourismo, it was a 4S. They still have that demo as they can get a replacement….

the feeling of the GTS is pretty similar to the 4S I drove, but it was 9 months ago now so it’s a little hard to remember. I’ve not driven a turbo so hard or say if it feels slower.

mine this I will say is 315 miles is total bull. I picked it up full with 190 on the clock and now, when full it’s saying 215. I’ve literally no idea how anyone could get 315 miles. It’s misleading to say the least.

I also just noticed it’s missing the nice metal pedals and the premium valve caps I paid for. It was also missing the document pack.

I just got my Vossens on and now I'm on the hunt for those wheels. They look fantastic.

Similar to a 4S (CT?) is a good thing IMO.

Ref the range, reading on here, the figures you're seeing will extend in time as the car beds in and learns how it's being used. There are threads on here where people started out with precisely what you have, and are up to 265-285 miles range I think.

However, I think we have to regard these figures in the same way as we do mpg. Some people may get more, most probably won't :)

If I can get 200 safe miles of range throughout the year without needing to charge, I'll be happy. Longest "in one go" journey we typically do is about 185 miles to parents. Both sets have chargers not too far away, and I may look at getting each of them a charger installed so we can juice up a decent amount when at their places.

Any longer trips will typically still be done in the family wagon (diesel XC90). And if not with the family, taking time out to charge will be fine.

Will be very interested in your driving experiences over the coming weeks (living vicariously :)). Especially the firmness of the ride, any issue with height (will be interesting to see what the highest lift ground clearance is) and the brakes (regen in particular once bedded in).

How are you finding the sound?
