- It's not designed for aggressive driving; it's a comfortable car for around town.
- It features regenerative braking, but the brake pedal depresses when regenerative braking is high, which feels weird.
- The interior is fresh and modern, feeling ahead of the ID3.
- The physical climate controls are an advantage, more convenient than a touchscreen-only system.
