The copper-colored ornamentation characterizes the German-produced Spaniard.
The car offers reasonable space in the cabin, good seats, a reasonable luggage compartment, and no frunk.
There is no option for a tow bar.
The quality of the car gives a good German impression.
The entertainment system is okay but not among the best. The navigation gives the estimated state of charge, but is not as easy to use as in a Tesla.
