Here is a summary of the YouTube video review of the electric car:The reviewer is impressed with the car's consumption and driving feel, especially for a car in its class.

The model reviewed has 16-inch rims and the entry-level version has 15-inch rims.
The reviewer says that the keyless entry and integrated door handles are nice and helpful for the aerodynamic of the car. It also can turn on the system from outside the car with the key, to turn on the AC in advance.
The interior, according to the video, looks great across all versions. Seats are synthetic leather and comfortable. There is plenty of space under the center console.
Standard on all versions is the autopilot system including lane assist and adaptive cruise control, which is a great addition. Driving modes include Eco, Sport, and Normal. There is a separate mode for snow/slippery roads, along with an auto-hold function. The vehicle features standard wireless Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and a 360-degree camera.
