If you can, document whatever changes you feel/see etc. We're obviously focused on the steering, HVAC, and drivetrain, but anything else you observe would be great to hear about. The articles I've come across all seem to be rehashed IA press release drek so a real boots on the ground report would be well received.I get to drive one around town and freeway today so I'll put my 2cents on the matter of steering.
That article is from the UK and the steering had already improved on European models with MY24 (I drove an MY23 and that was worse than the MY24), Plus, we don't get the silly zero castor that US models seem to have. So, I suspect the difference a UK reviewer would feel will be different to how a US reviewer may feel. That said, if a reviewer drove an MY23 originally and is driving an MY26 now, they may feel more of a gap.This came out 12 hours ago....
So in EU my24 have the new worm gear and hydraulic steering stops already? Bc they do not here in the US for sure. You all are lucky they rolled it out without telling anyone there.That article is from the UK and the steering had already improved on European models with MY24 (I drove an MY23 and that was worse than the MY24), Plus, we don't get the silly zero castor that US models seem to have.

While not a fan of DRL's (headlight only) it makes sense to have the turn signals work independently of headlight.New optics for 2026: The two rings are most likely due to new safety regulations, which require the DRL to be always on and to operate separately from the turn signals. Still no information regarding a new 5-piece lens element in the headlamps; this could be related to supply-chain constraints or improvements in beam performance.

Headlight? That is still the case, in the old and new version of the headlight. The turn lights are operating independent of the headlight, but they are integrated into one unit. Do you mean independent operation from DRL?While not a fan of DRL's (headlight only) it makes sense to have the turn signals work independently of headlight.
1. Actually, that does make sense. Around my parts (Pennsylvania, USA) the DRL'S are experiment bright. So bright that people do not turn their lights on when needed because a) they think their lights are on, and b) they have auto lights set to off. So they are driving without their rear lights on.Headlight? That is still the case, in the old and new version of the headlight.

1. As an automotive light guy I think it the other way around. Having the DRL switched off while turning makes the indicator far more visible than with two separate lights so close together.
I assume that the European version is a 1 or 1a type (should be noted somewhere on the light), depending on the distance to the low-beam light (begin of the lens).
Regarding UN-ECE R48 the DRL needs to be dimmed when the distance between turning indicator and DRL is lower than 40 mm while the turning indictor is used. But it is still illuminated. If both are a single unit (pre-2026) the DRL has to be turned off.
2. Is that the case? Is the DRL dimmed while turning?
AWo
Signaling? What is that. lolI agree w @AWo - anything other than the turn signal should be turned off so the signal is most visible. There are many cars out there that do not to this and it's hard to tell of they are signinling or not.
