Not sure exactly which engine  they are using.  Most of the roads will be the previous generation unless they come with the new circle HEV hybrid emblem.  The older model IIRC uses the NiMH battery.   1.8 usually tune for FC - i think their 0-100 is 9 secs or more.   

I went up North too.  The 2.0L perform well even fully loaded.  Average FC for me is about 18 km/L.  

P.S.  Please dun go bully their local HEV leh.   But I got other cars trying to jio me because they think mine the same as their local HEV version. 🤔

Ditto. Experience same FC when it was fully loaded in the boot and roof. Did test machine and i felt it was stable after it went slightly above speed limit when overtaking. I pumped thrice during the 4 days trip. Once before entering, in between and final one before checkpoint. Fuel left 200km kind when i topped up for first 2 pump.

Managed to get wireless Apple car play with this dongle from tb. Once paired to your phone, CarPlay automatically comes on when ever you start your car. Very seamless and similar to cars with build in CarPlay in HU

HU Side clamp phone holder did not work though, our HU too thick. 

Im thinking of upgrading the unit to a fully auto carplay. Has anyone enquired with BM before the cost since doing outside may void the warranty?

As for phone holder, i got one bracket from shoppee (https://sg.shp.ee/nzXkooU) which is placed right below the hazard light button. Its like smacked in the middle. You will need to purchase the phone holder too.

You definitely need to check with BM.   Maybe void a lot of warranty. 🤣
I used a super short cable to connect to the phone and put it at the center console.
Still hunting for a center console organizer that fits.

@Kklee I am waiting for COE bidding and car to arrive. Looking at accessories in taobao now. 
 

You mentioned center console tray do not fit. Is it the same as the one in the link below:

Anyone bought boot tray from taobao before? I see that they have 19-23 model and 24 model. Does any one of them fit?

Thanks! Will not buy the center console then. 
 

Will take a chance on the 19-23 boot tray.

I still use wire because I need to charge the phone.  I feel the 12V socket is in the wrong place. 🤣

Bought some frivolous stuff to cover the left and right side hole above the front wheel arch . Supposed to prevent leaves and twigs from going in.90% fit , need some minor mods aka cut out some plastics for the left side container to fit in

Did you have to cut off a lot of the plastic? Is it still secure after using for some time?Surprised to see such a big hole on the sides for this car. 

[desboo]

Bought the side covers and cut off some of the rubbery type material. At least more than 90% of the leaves won’t get trapped on the side now.

For the sides, the link is as follows. I took the more expensive thicker version.

I also managed to find an arm rest storage that fits. It’s the “24” version. The wireless charging divider also fits.

Same link as arm rest storage. I bought the storage, center console and the tray for behind screen all from same link. The behind-screen tray does not fit, so I kept the anti slip rubber and threw the tray away.
