If the steering and chassis feel echo the A110, this could be the enthusiast’s family EV—subtle, sharp, and très chic, with enough theatre to make the school run feel like a pit lane exit.

Bis auf das noch hoffentlich bald verbesserte/reduzierte Gebimmel und die gruselig schlecht zu erreichende Stummschaltung der Geschwindigkeitswarnung ist das Auto wirklich der Hammer!
Sehr, sehr leise, komfortabel, extrem schnell (Brabus Version), tolle Verarbeitung, tolle Ausstattung!
