In a previous post you stated that your service plan gave 25% discount but were dissatisfied VW services and was going to use an independent. So you are not comparing like with like. The Toyota service prices in my post were current prices for single services. So what is the VW equivalent for your car at today’s prices?

Perhaps you could provide the current dealerships prices for servicing a Passat PHEV estate compared to a ID7 Tourer 2WD.

In my experience the price of single services is higher than multi-year service plans and dealer prices are higher than manufacturers plans. I was merely commenting on the big disparity between the price I paid for recent services compared to some of the figures quoted in this thread. I'll let you do your own research.

Most modern IC cars need servicing every 2 years, with an optional engine oil change in between - since EVs don't have engine oil they should only need servicing every two years but this doesn't seem to be the case.

However do you have a 10 year warranty on thne car as that is included in the service cost for the Toyota. Basically an insurance!

That's a fair point - extending the original manufacturer's warranty on my VW Touareg would have added about £800/year making it more expensive - although I haven't needed any repairs that warranty would have covered in years 6-10 - just replacement tyres, brake discs/pads and transmission fluids

Looking at Kia the prices shown for their EV range are as one would expect less than for a ICE, or hybrid. Although in the dear old US of A they still seem to recommend 6 months or 6k miles for some like early EV6 or Niro EV!!!

FWIW...

We had our Qashqai serviced yesterday. Major service, £364, of which more than half was for materials.

Service interval is 18,000 miles which is just under 2 years for us.

Pick my new car up and they said service at 24 months 20k .

It seems like only yesterday you collected the Tourneo.
What colour this time?
