The video identifies the following pros: high-end vehicle, very comfortable even on poorly maintained roads, little-to-no road noise.
The video identifies a few cons: the handles on the rear doors are in an awkward position. Also, there is not a good support for the right arm as the central armrest is a bit shaky. A small issue with the dashboard in the sun. One other issues is with the assistance, even though there is Level-2 ADAS.
The reviewer concludes: It is a very good car that came as a great surprise and will be interesting as a vehicle for transport.
