2019 SONO MOTORS SION CONCEPT IMPRESSIONS

EV Channels Review

This video provides an early look at the 2019 Sono Motors Sion concept, highlighting its unique features and potential for urban mobility. The reviewer emphasizes the car's innovative solar integration, which is expected to add up to 30 km of range on a sunny day, and its bio-filtration system for improved cabin air quality. While acknowledging the vehicle is a pre-production prototype with many aspects subject to change, the reviewer notes the spacious interior, ample legroom, and significant boot space. The driving experience is described as brisk for a prototype, with decent acceleration and steering, though some refinement is expected. Key takeaways include the modular solar panel design for easier servicing, support for bi-directional charging, and a flexible pricing model with battery purchase or lease options. The Sion is positioned as a practical, cost-effective EV for European city driving, with production targeted for late 2019.
