Advantages
- Interior space is impressive thanks to the flat floor with no transmission tunnel offering generous legroom.
- Range is competitive at up to 520km on a full charge, enough for most journeys without range anxiety.
- Fast charging at 125kW means you can add 320km of range in 30 minutes at suitable rapid chargers.
- The cabin is practical with a good-sized boot and plenty of storage spaces for family needs.
- Competitive pricing makes it more affordable than many premium electric SUVs with similar specifications.
Pay Attention
- Infotainment system can be laggy and frustrating with slow response times and occasional freezes.
- Touch-sensitive controls for basic functions are fiddly and require taking your eyes off the road.
- Build quality has received mixed reviews with some owners reporting rattles and panel gaps.
- Range drops significantly in cold weather or at motorway speeds, sometimes by 30-40%.
- The ID.Light communication system is gimmicky and doesn't add much practical value to the experience.
