xDrive30i M Sport (2022)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 10.0 km/litre (10.0 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 1,000 km/month
1. Driving experience - It is fantastic giving its handling and the way the gear shifts. ZF 8 speed is really best in its class.
2. Adaptive suspension - In comfort mode, it is rather comfort to cruise around (might be better with non RF tyres). In sport mode, it stiffens up the suspension and steering feel let you tackle the corners more confidently or cruising in highspeed. 95% of the time will be travelled in comfort suspension due to Malaysia general road condition.
3. Driving modes - Well tuned three driving modes. Eco Pro really restrict a lot of power and sort of forces you to drive with light footed, not only that it also has coasting mode to allow you glide through slope easily. Comfort is the very standard and pretty well calibrated throttle response and power delivery. In sport mode, you may have sport & sport plus to give you spirited driving experience.
4. Adaptive headlamps - To my surprise, the auto high beam function also only highlight spot that is dark and turn off where there is traffic simultaneously.
5. Fuel economy is kinda okay for its size. Managed to get average 9.5km/L in the city and 13km/L on the highway.
6. It is able to lock & unlock the car via smartphone / smartwatch NFC. It was super convenient when I'm able to go for a run without carrying the key fob and all I need is just a smartwatch with NFC feature. Then, I'll be able to lock the car while keeping key fob inside the car.
7. Ample interior space, not as big as those X5 but certainly more than enough and to my surprise the boot space is large enough especially after split fold.
8. 5 Years Warranty & Free Service Maintenance 5 years or 100k KM provides a lot value.
- No 360 degree camera for my batch, pretty sad.
- Cruise control button on steering wheel, unlike Audi or Mecerdes having an extra stick behind the steering.
- No adaptive cruise control at this price point.
- Side mirror sometimes feel kinda small
- Although it provides Harman Kardon sound system, but the lack of subwoofer makes it incomplete package for an audiophile.
To Improve
I wish its auto brake hold can be like Mercedes where it activates by performing a quick brake press.
Yes, I would recommend this car
