Hey all!
Just wondering if anyone has taken a 500x on the motorway.. How does it drive at speed from 70 to 90 mph? Is the engine noise minimal? What about the road/tire noise?
Thanks!

I don't any of us have managed to properly test drive one yet and even if we do I'm not convinced the dealer will let us take it up to 90

I'm going back down to dealers later on this week to test drive a 1.4 petrol... The motorway is right next to dealers, I'll ask to take it a spin as this is a particular issue with me as i had previous diesels but never had a petrol for a long time...

I dont know if they'll allow me to do motorway speeds though... They havent seen my driving...

I have tried it on the motorway but unfortunately it hadn't been coded so couldn't really accelerate andthe max speed was 70km/h (it still showed km/h instead of mph) so unfortunately can't help. The dealer didn't even realise it would be limited.

That's a shame, how did it perform in it's limited ability?

I did try it again but unfortunately only on 50mph roads and it accelerated good, not much wind noise.

That's good to hear thanks.
