Testkøringer

Testkøringer, or test drives, are a crucial part of the vehicle purchasing process. They allow potential buyers to experience a car firsthand before making a financial commitment. During a testkøring, a buyer drives the vehicle to assess its performance, handling, comfort, and overall suitability for their needs. Key aspects to evaluate include acceleration, braking, steering responsiveness, suspension, visibility, and interior ergonomics.

It is advisable to plan a testkøring route that simulates typical driving conditions, such as city streets, highways, and perhaps even rougher terrain if relevant to the buyer's lifestyle. Checking all electronic features, such as infotainment systems, climate control, and safety assists, is also important. A testkøring provides a practical understanding that cannot be fully grasped from brochures or online reviews. Most dealerships offer test drives, and it is a standard practice in the automotive industry. Buyers are generally encouraged to ask questions of the salesperson present during the drive.
