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.

Inside, it's all luxury sofas and smart gadgets that actually help rather than confuse, so buyers who crave tech and comfort will feel like they've upgraded their life without needing to spellcheck the manual.
