It may not be a playground for driving purists, but its easy-to-live-with manners, modest running costs and surprisingly roomy cabin make it a smart, sensible pick for urban buyers who value reliability over showmanship.

It makes school runs feel a little more upscale — quietly electric, sensibly packaged and unexpectedly pleasant to live with, especially if you like your practicality with a touch of luxury.
