Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

  • 400 km WLTP range
  • 11 kW AC charging
  • Up to 6 kW V2L

Conservative planning allowance derived from the published WLTP figure; it is not a guaranteed real-world result.

Problems, recalls and evidence

What might annoy you.

  • 228 L boot
  • GWM quotes 35 minutes for 30–80% DC charging

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
