What to buy Seal U dmi awd or Ford Kuga active X PHEV

  • Very unprofessional behavior Treponem1909 to block a person who only wants to help to make an educated decision why to buy the Seal U dmi by giving my testdrive experience of an alternative possibility. I om objective since I do not possess either car and hoped for some feedback from DMi owners. You are not openminded at all and you will now block me again (I know your type of person).

    Bin sehr betroffen. Ich werde versuchen, mich zu bessern. ✌️😘


    ....ein Beitrag hier, Gestern angemeldet, aber er kennt mich. Bin beeindruckt! 😍 Allerdings hat er den 😉 dahinter nicht gesehen. Oder er kennt die Bedeutung nicht? 😯


    ....und was meint er mir "geblockt"? Übersetzungsfehler kann man ja ausschließen. Also wieso geblockt? 🙄

  • Good question. I also do not know what a German eco zone is, I am from The Netherlands. I just noticed in the display that the car switch to eco mode at the start of the zone and at the end of the zone back. Yes I agree that I prefer the drive train of the DMI since bassically you always drive electric eccept when you do a kickdown when the ICE also gives some support to the transmission.


    Concerning the driving dynamics of the dmi. I am waiting for the "type 04" update of the dmi at the dealer. This update improve the driving dynamics since it makes the car a bit firmer. This update first came available in Australia after many complaints about the too soft suspension for Australia road conditions. If you order a dmi in the Netherlands now you get the type 04 update.


    I still am looking for reliable fuel consumption data (inclusive the driving conditions like driving mode, speed, type of road etc. ) of the dmi with a SOC of 25% (so "empty battery" and the car drives in HEV mode).

    "geblockt" meaning I could not login anymore in the this forum and I had to registrate again under another name

    Du überschätzt meinen Einfluss hier gewaltig! Wenn ich dich blocke (was ich nicht getan habe, warum auch?) kannst du dich hier nicht mehr einloggen? 🤨 Wie man auf so eine Idee kommt, möchte ich tatsächlich gern verstehen wollen. 🤔


    BTW….es tut mir leid, dass du meine ironisch gemeinte Antwort falsch aufgefasst hast und werde sie entfernen! ✌️☺️

    5-6 Liter/100km combined (partly city with traffic lights and stop&go, partly 80-100km/h freeway around vienna)


    But as I said in an earlier post: this will be approximately the avg. since there will be peaks of 10l consumption (showed in the graph) and some pure EV kilometers.


    IMO the mode (eco, normal, sport) is not that significant as the driving behaviour is. Fast accelerating and hard breaking all the time will reduce the distance/increase the consumption.

    Had the same when I initally registered.


    - Registered

    - Did not post anything for 2 days

    - Wanted to send my 1. post

    - "Blocked because of suspicious behaviour"



    I gues that is some automatic "feature" of the forum which kicks in in weird situations.

    Don't be offended.



    I wrote an e-mail to the admin and asked him to unblock me.

    Did not get a reply, but after a day my login worked again.

  • but here in The Netherlands installing a home charger (11kw) is at least 2000 euro which is difficult to earn back by driving electrically.

    Really doubt that.

    Did you already get an offer from a company?


    How long is the distance from you "main eletricity point" to the wallbox?


    You can buy cheap 11kW wallboxes for ~200-250€

    If you have a solar system, then the "special ones" which are managed by your solar input are ~700€.


    Mounting that to a wall i like mounting a picture. Not hard at all.

    The only thing which can be tricky is "making the hole for the cable".



    Making the final electric connection is the only thing which has to be done by a professional, as I guess you also need to register it with your electric company.

    Wallbox - 269€ (https://www.technishop.de/wallbox/technivolt-technivolt-100)

    30 metres NYM-J 5×4 mm² cable - 130€ (https://store.besserladen.de/p…itung-nym-j-5x4-mm%C2%B2/)

    braker unit ~70€


    Then you only have to pay for the electrician to connect a few cables and install the breaker.

    Should be EASY under 1000€

    Someone did block me after your respons so I asumed it was you. So my excusses if it was not you. However I was logged out and could not log in anymore and had to create a new profile. OK it works now again with this new profile and I hope it will stay this way.

    Es hat definitiv nichts damit zu tun, ob irgendjemand dich geblockt hat. Und bei dir gibt es von meiner Seite aus keinen Anlass dazu. 🍀✌️😎
