A joyful daily driver
Switched from a petrol sedan last year and haven't looked back. Running costs are a fraction of what I used to pay and the cabin is far more refined. Highway stability is excellent and charging infra has improved a lot.

Great range, silent cabin
Perfect daily driver for city + occasional weekend trips. Range matches the claim in Eco mode. The touchscreen is slick and the audio system is premium.

Best value for the features
Interior quality exceeded my expectations. Acceleration is instant and the silent ride makes a big difference on long commutes. Only wish the boot was a bit bigger.
