Lovely car — one thing they forgot: the 600 has a heat pump and, as far as I know, the 500 doesn’t, which is quite an important detail.

PHEV model — very pleased with the car after 2.5 years. In the summer months it runs practically on electric power alone. The large 2.5‑litre engine is surprisingly frugal, about 0.5 l/mil. Downsides are the ventilation in winter, which causes fogged windows, and that we can now only charge the battery to 80%.
