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

430 km WLTP
236 L frunk and pallet-sized tray
325 kW dual-motor AWD

Trim guidance: The full published payload and towing maxima cannot necessarily be used together. Confirm your loaded combination and approved towbar.

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

What might annoy you.

Check combined mass, available payload and towing range for your load.
The 42-minute DC claim covers 20–80%.

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.

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.
