Great cars: comfortable, elegant — it has style and reasonable engine power.
A price that makes the competition pale. With a long-range battery, it lets you cover long distances.
And on top of that, made in France.

The family car par excellence: a big boot, three equal and adjustable seats in the second row, two extra easily accessible seats, an engine that’s more than adequate... everything is excellent except for the slightly high price.
