Revised/upgraded X Power

[tsedge]

Handling and seats for me. Then maybe subtle bodykit.

I wouldn't bother with other changes, just going to increase the price too much. No point chasing the Hyundai 5N if it ends up costing £50k+

That is me, dipping toe in the water currently.

I was thinking, what's people's thoughts on when they come to revise the X Power if they upped the price (still under £40k) but in return upped the quality ( and obviously got rid of the vibes)

Stuff off the top of my head.

When I had one for the day I felt it needed better seats, more support to stop you moving about.

Better materials some are a bit low rent, to much like the trophy and SE

Better interior lights/Ambient lighting (like that in our other two cars)

Better sound system

Heat pump (already in 4's in Europe)

Better wheels and or rubber and proper colour matched calipers

Panoramic roof, the early press releases it has one.

I know the car is built to a budget but upgrades to all of the above or certainly the option to would make it far more appealing.

If it was a £1 under the £40k luxury car band I think it would still be really good value for money with that performance and those upgrades.

Thoughts?

Unfortunately insurance companies have killed off the X Power in the UK solely due to greed. It is fast becoming uninsurable unless you pay “new driver rates” at 56 years old.

Amazingly still ~30% cheaper than any Tesla to insure but still ridiculous.

Not sure about “new driver rates” - my 18 year old son is paying £5.5k per year on a 14 year old fiat panda, so we’re not quite there yet with the x-power!

That's a disgrace my 20yr old is £890 fully comp on a 10 year old Corsa
