NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR CAR! CONTINENTAL FUTURE SYSTEMS AND SONO MOTORS SION TEST DRIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This video from Autogefühl provides an in-depth look at the Sono Motors Sion, an early prototype of an all-electric vehicle aiming for an accessible price point of around 25,000 euros. The reviewer highlights the Sion's unique features, including integrated solar panels that can add up to 35 km of range per day, a 35 kWh battery with a claimed 250 km range, and bi-directional charging capabilities. While the exterior and interior design are described as simplistic and functional, the massive trunk space for its size is noted as a significant advantage. The reviewer praises the efficiency of the Continental-supplied permanent magnet motor, comparing it favorably to that in the Tesla Model 3. However, the prototype exhibits typical early-stage issues like large panel gaps and less refined chassis and insulation. The test drive reveals spontaneous acceleration and a go-kart-like feel, though the suspension is soft and insulation could be improved. The reviewer also touches upon various Continental technologies, including adaptive privacy glass, a turning assistant for cyclist and pedestrian safety, a tire pressure changer, a puncture sensor, advanced voice recognition, interior cameras for autonomous driving transitions, a 3D instrument cluster, and a predictive ESC system. The Sion's potential as an affordable electric vehicle for the masses is presented as a key point to follow.
