Is the CX 60 PHEV a valid alternative to a BMW X3 PHEV?

We'll be moving (2 adults + 2 toddlers) soon to Austria and the plan is to import a used car (1-2 years old) from Germany. Given the crazy taxation on ICE cars and the need for long drives, choice has fallen to a AWD PHEV with a relatively low power ICE (i.e. Volvo XC60 is out).

After some research, the are three finalists:

  • X3 (G45)
  • X1 (SU11)
  • Mazda CX60

Now, the X1 seems small to me for our needs. I am former owner of a BMW X3 G01 and Mazda CX-5 2023...and I simply don't like the X3 lines and internal (while wife is more attracted to the brand). Plus, it is 10k more than the X1 and 15k more than the Mazda. I would go for the Mazda, cheaper and to be better looking. But it's the first PHEV they've done, and it seems there have been issues...

Any direct experience or suggestion?

Pathlite ONFly size concern

I'm about to buy 2 Pathlite ONFly for my wife and myself. I have doubts about the size for me. I am 1.82m, inner leg length 83cm. On the website it suggests marginally a L size. I'm worried I may need to overstretch to reach the handle bar, any experience with people with similar size as me? Moreover, if I would go for M, I may choose the mid-step version

I have the feeling I am also seeing faster battery drain since the last update. I went into the developer page and enabled show refresh rate and it seems to me it is stuck at 120 Hz. In the past it was trotting down very fast as soon as there was no motion on the screen...can this be the issue? I still see 120 Hz with smooth display off and even with extreme battery saver on

Would be great if you can check on your phone, don't know if it is my problem only
