Had my first encounter of the new new RRS today, at LRE Dunkeld
First impressions are good. Doesn't "feel" any wider than the L494, despite being noticeably so, even on the twisty back roads
Tech is amazing. Its like going from a 320 into a 494, such is the advancement in tech
Off road, it is supreme. Even on 23" Road biased tyres, it just shrugged off everything it was pointed at, even hills you'd barely be able to stand on
4 wheel steering works very well off road. Didnt get a chance to sample it at motorway speeds
In full EV, the car is almost silent. Can hold a whisper quiet conversation
When the engine does cut in and out, it is seamless at low speeds. The only giveaway is the reverse counter jumps from 0 to 1200rpm
Trip computer was showing an average of 26.1mpg after our ½ day off road
Not a single warning light showed up either 
The only disappointment of the day was a very harsh 1st-2nd gear change on occasion. No real pattern to it, but I expect its only in some pretty specific circumstances, as it couldn't be provoked...
All in all, incredible car
