Innovative, with generous interior space but at the expense of the boot. I have an M60 — strong acceleration and excellent self-charging, especially on the motorway.

It’s a sensible choice for buyers who want a relaxed, high-tech cruiser that covers motorway miles with poise rather than bravado.

Range is completely wrong compared to what’s shown. In reality you can only rely on about 60% of the distance. The boot only opens for whoever has the key? That’s a massive headache for my work.

It is a super comfortable car with a charging from 10-80% in less than 20 minutes. This car is also a very economic car as it is fully electric.
