What Owners Say
PositiveOwners Love
- Owners love the design and say it is fun, nimble and easy to park in town.
- The interior feels well made for the price, with comfortable front seats and physical climate buttons.
- The Google-based infotainment is quick and easy to use, and phone mirroring works well.
Watch Out For
- Rear legroom is very tight, so owners call it a car for two adults or a family with small children.
- Real-world range falls well short of WLTP for some owners, especially in cold weather or on fast roads.
- There is no true one-pedal driving: the strongest regen setting still needs the brake to stop.
Owner Tips
- If smart charging fails, ask the dealer for the latest software and set charging from the car's own schedule.
- Choose the 52 kWh battery if you do regular longer trips.
- Check rear-seat space with your own passengers before buying.
