Brochure Obsessions

[d1rty]

@TnUplander So to make things worse, not only do we use different gallons (US = 4 quarts, Imperial = 5), but we measure octane differently, too.

https://www.etuners.gr/fuel/

Short story, 87 octane in the US maps to the standard grade fuel in Europe, 91 is mid grade US, 93 is high grade US.  I'm note sure what the typical octane numbers are for standard/mid/high in Europe, so I won't speak out of turn.

US does combined as well, but it's less popular than the city/hwy numbers.  But if you look at a modern window sticker, they're pushing the combined cycle now, and generally feature it above/larger font than the city/hwy figures.  Usually falls about in the middle.  My out-of-thin-air guess is that 18 Combined is probably 15 city, 20 highway.  Give or take.  We'll know for sure late this year when the US figures are announced.

Why makes you think they mean imperial gallons?

Imperial gallons are used in most of the extremely few countries that use the imperial system of bad measuring practice.
Being a UK brochure they would have to use UK based figures.

We have Euro standard 91, 95 & 98 Octane in Australia

Roo bar looks like this and it bolts onto the existing bumper so I imagine no more than 40kgs

She certainly is on the heavy side. (My 1983 MB G wagon, with ladder frame, solid axels etc. is 2,000kg, mind you she only has 140HP!). Although, when you consider the extra weight for ladder frame etc. - a BMW X5 is 2,500kg.

Fuel consumption is probably OK (averaging 14.2 Lt per 100km (petrol engine)), esp. when you compare to, say, the BMW X5 with similar engine  that has 13.7 Lt per 100km.

Overall, I am super impressed in what they have delivered. The options are what is needed & are well priced.

They need to get their configurator back up and running - before 18 May - with all options & pricing, even if not all the options can be visually seen but, to enable buyers to build up their tailored car with the relevant pricing.

There are some little things frustrating - like:
what do the optional floor mats look like and can they be fitted over the rubber floors or just if you have carpet?
privacy glass - all windows or just rear?
whats in the roadside emergency kits?
What does the roo bar & side bars look like, their weight etc.?

This one is interesting with the wiring included

Looking at the brochure the 18” alloy seems to have a cosmetic (??) beadlock ring where as the 17” doesn’t. Was there any commentary on this??

 Also is it just me or does any one else feel not impressed by the design of the alloys?? I’m sure they’ll be strong but I feel Ineos could have been a bit more bold with the design

Not sure if this is new news or old news but there is now an Australian brochure on the website, here is the file link:

https://mss-p-034-delivery.stylelabs.cloud/api/public/content/Public_brochure_AU?v=1f0ae96b 

Have not compared to the UK brochure yet for any differences.

Cant find it now on the forum but someone had a query about the tow ball size on the Australian version, brochure confirms 50mm.

 

[bakepl]

Yes 50mm hayman reece style hitch receiver is confirmed however there may be an error or carryover in the brochure from the U.K. version.  The Aus brochure states the towbar is rated as class 3.  In Aus Class 3 is up to 1600kg, whilst class 4 is 3500kg.  Doesn't make sense having 3500kg towing ability with a 1600kg class 3 towbar rating so guess its an error.

US site appears to be down at 1530 central.   Hoping that means they are loading it up.

 

[DaveB]

Australian site down also. Same as last time.

 

[TnUplander]

Cant wait to see if they have the wet bar option.
