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

600 km WLTP
250 kW peak Supercharging
822 L behind the second row

Trim guidance: The Long Range keeps the RWD’s cargo volume and adds dual-motor AWD. Braked towing requires the optional tow package and appropriate trailer brakes.

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

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.

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.
