As a ‘22 trophy owner, I have the very fortunate opportunity to get a company car with the xpower being top of the list.
I test drove the xpower this morning!
Coming from the trophy being my favourite car that I’ve ever had, the xpower takes it to the next level.
The handling for everyday driving has pretty much the same feel as the trophy for normal driving but with explosive acceleration whenever needed.
Straight line acceleration is very very entertaining with the launch mode taking thing a to another level.
The dealership weren’t aware of the launch mode so I took a couple of them out and demonstrated - it is definitely a car to put a smile on people’s faces (the acceleration on launch mode made the guys from the dealer laugh out loud).
The xpower had the latest software with the new controls for air con. It also has the air con chirp
As part of the latest software it comes with the one pedal driving. It does a great job - stronger regen than the trophy.
With the stronger regen, the ACC performed much better than the trophy with much smoother changes in speed with traffic.
Interior design is as the trophy other than materials. The middle headrest is a bit pointless and the rear wiper surplus to requirements (it was raining during the test drive and I didn’t feel the need to use it).
Given the acceleration, grab handles are a nice addition.
So overall, my trophy is a great car with xpower adding another layer and now I’m really tempted to get a white xpower on salary sacrifice.
