Video Summary
Here is the summary of the video review of the electric car:The car is generally a nice, cute, and approachable looking car, with a good front end.
The car is shorter and narrower than a standard Golf but taller and has a bigger wheel base. It should have more interior space.
The car has a 385-liter boot, a little bigger than the Golf's boot. There is good leg and head room in the back seats, and there are USB ports. The back has no annoying bump in the middle of the floor.
The front interior is similar to a Golf. The center console is lower, giving it a nice airy feel. There are some cup holders and wireless charging.
The steering wheel has capacitive buttons.
Driving the car feels like driving an old VW Beetle, but smoother and quieter. It is more luxurious than an equivalent ICE car.
Most versions have a 204-horsepower motor, while less potent versions also are available. Most versions do 0-62 in 7.3 seconds.
In terms of range, there are three battery options:
- A mid-range 58 kWh, which will do around 260 miles
- A 45 kWh, good for around 200 miles
- A larger 77 kWh offering 330-odd miles.
The mid-range battery will take nine hours to charge at home, and 30 minutes at a rapid charger.
The materials inside the car are not great and the screen seems to move around a bit. The car also has only two window switches for the front windows. There has to be a rear button pressed first, then the window switch is used.
For a family hatchback, electric cars are better than petrol and diesel cars because they are so lovely to drive, the suspension is brilliant, they are quiet, and are just a more luxurious experience.
Prices start at around £32,000, or £350 a month with a £2,000 initial rental.
Overall, the reviewer does like the car, especially the looks, but there are a few things that they don't like.
