Yep, 4 people fit in with easy, my son is 6'2" and has plenty of space in the back, both for his feet and head room

Re: Adaptive cruise control

I have been using adaptive cruise control for some 80k miles in my previous car and never had an issue, so based on that I am pretty sure the brake light does come on, but never actually seen it for myself either.

Re: Fuel consumption

Manufacturers figures are always way overrated, got my Niro First Edition for 2.5 weeks now, and average of 56-57 mpg or 4.9-5.0 ltr/100km. Drive 120 mile four days a week with combination of a bit of city (10 miles) a fair bit of country roads (30 miles) and a long stretch of motorway (80 miles) bu...
