The large 17-inch touchscreen display controls entertainment, HVAC, and dynamic vehicle controls. The interior is modern, sleek, and cool.
From behind the wheel, the vehicle is quiet and tight, and exceptionally well put together. There is a Mercedes-like quality to the car.
It's a $107,000 car, but it feels like it.
The regenerative braking is significant. The brakes aren't used as much. There’s not a lot of fluid changes. The motor can be more easily replaced than repaired. The car has fantastic torque that puts a smile on the driver's face.
There is no real competition. However, it competes with the BMW 5 series and the Audi A6 or S6.
No other all-electric car comes close to its capabilities. However, they cannot be taken on long road trips.
