Genesis G80 EV Driving Review - Can This Electrified Sedan Challenge EQE and Model S?
The Genesis G80 EV presents a compelling package with its elegant design and strong performance, particularly its rapid acceleration and quick DC char... moreging capabilities thanks to the 800-volt architecture. The reviewer highlights the comfortable ride and the intuitive manual climate controls as significant positives. However, the EV version suffers from a compromised seating position for taller individuals due to the battery placement, leading to reduced headroom and an awkward feel compared to the combustion engine variant. The reviewer also notes the use of animal skin for seats as a dated choice and expresses disappointment with the trunk space reduction. While the G80 EV offers a comfortable and quiet driving experience, it lacks the sporty feel and precise steering found in competitors like the Mercedes EQE. less
VW ID Buzz Driving Review: Passenger vs Cargo - Will the EV Microbus Convince Multivan T7 Customers?
The Volkswagen ID. Buzz presents a unique proposition in the EV market, blending retro aesthetics with modern electric technology. The reviewer highli... moreghts its distinctive "bully"-like driving position and spacious interior, which offers significantly more room than similarly sized EVs, making it a compelling alternative for SUV customers seeking something special. The interior impresses with its use of sustainable, animal-free materials and offers various color and trim combinations, though the reviewer finds some of the brighter options a bit too playful. Practicality is a strong suit, with both passenger and cargo versions available, featuring a versatile Multiflex board and ample storage. The driving experience is described as agile and fun, with a surprisingly tight turning circle for its size, attributed to the rear-wheel-drive platform. However, the reviewer notes that the infotainment system and capacitive buttons are not ideal, and wind insulation is only average. Real-world range tests yielded approximately 370 km (230 miles) at highway speeds (around 110 km/h), which is considered decent but less efficient than smaller EVs like the ID.4/ID.5 at higher speeds. less
All-New Mercedes GLC Driving Review 2023
The Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 4MATIC AMG-Line (2023) represents a significant evolution rather than a revolution, building upon its predecessor's str... moreengths. The reviewer highlights the improved aerodynamics, updated technology like optional digital light, and the notable addition of rear-axle steering, which enhances maneuverability by simulating a shorter wheelbase at low speeds. Inside, the cabin impresses with high-quality materials, a modern cockpit featuring a large MBUX infotainment system and digital instruments, and a comfortable, well-insulated environment. Positives include the refined driving dynamics, offering a sportier feel than before while maintaining comfort, especially with the optional air suspension. The reviewer also praises the Burmester sound system and the useful transparent bonnet feature. However, criticisms are leveled at the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and climate controls, which can be fiddly while driving, and a perceived lack of seat ergonomics compared to some competitors. The cockpit design, while sporty, can feel somewhat confining. Despite these points, the GLC is deemed a strong contender, offering a premium, sporty, and comfortable experience with improved efficiency. less
Mazda CX60 Driving Review E-Skyactiv in Germany (US CX70)! Is it the Premium CX-5?
The Mazda CX-60 represents Mazda's ambitious entry into the premium SUV segment, aiming to rival established players like the BMW X3. The reviewe... morer highlights the CX-60's striking exterior design and the premium feel of its interior, particularly praising the "Takumi" trim's bright fabric and wood accents as potentially the best Mazda interior seen to date. However, the interior's comfort is questioned, with seats described as potentially too firm, especially the animal skin variants, and rear legroom is noted as disappointing. The reviewer also finds the infotainment system's reliance on a rotary dial (except for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto) and the complex gear shifter design to be drawbacks. Driving dynamics are a mixed bag; while the CX-60 offers strong acceleration and improved noise insulation over early prototypes, the reviewer notes that the ride can still be stiff, especially with 20-inch wheels, and the transitions of the plug-in hybrid system are not entirely seamless. Crucially, the reviewer concludes that despite significant improvements, the CX-60 lacks the engaging, driver-focused character that defines Mazda, making the older, more perfected CX-5 a more compelling choice for driving enthusiasts, even if the CX-60 offers a more premium aesthetic and the availability of six-cylinder engines. less
2023 VW ID.4 Pro 4Motion Review - The AWD Version Without the GTX
The 2023 VW ID.4 Pro 4Motion is presented as a compelling AWD option, positioned between the base RWD and the sportier GTX trims. The reviewer highlig... morehts its balanced performance, with acceleration figures of around 7 seconds, making it a practical choice for those who don't require the absolute top-tier performance of the GTX. The exterior design is noted for its consistent, albeit conservative, aesthetic, with the light strip across the rear being a standout feature. Inside, the seats are praised, and the interior is noted for its commitment to animal-free materials. However, the capacitive steering wheel buttons and the infotainment system's user interface, despite recent software updates (3.2), are criticized for usability issues, particularly while driving. The adaptive suspension (DCC) is commended for effectively blending comfort and sportiness. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km (250 miles), with efficiency being impacted by cold temperatures. The reviewer concludes that this Pro 4Motion variant offers sufficient performance and a more comfortable ride than the GTX, making it a sensible and perhaps even preferable choice for many buyers. less
Volvo XC40 vs Volvo XC60 Comparison Review - Which Is The Best Volvo SUV?
This comparison review pits the Volvo XC40 against its larger sibling, the XC60, evaluating exterior design, interior comfort, and driving dynamics. T... morehe reviewer finds the XC40's exterior design fresher, while preferring the XC60's side profile and rear. Interiorly, both offer comparable space and comfort, with the XC40 feeling surprisingly grown-up for its compact size. The reviewer notes the XC60 offers slightly more trunk space and the availability of air suspension, a feature absent in the XC40. Driving impressions reveal the XC40 feels lighter, more agile, and offers a more direct connection to the road, making it more engaging for spirited driving. The XC60, particularly with air suspension, provides a more sophisticated and calm ride, especially on the motorway, but the difference isn't as significant as the price gap might suggest. Ultimately, considering the substantial price difference and the XC40's strong all-around performance, agility, and surprisingly refined interior, the reviewer declares the XC40 the clear winner, especially given its availability as a pure electric model. less
Genesis GV60 AWD Driving Review - Better EV Than Kia EV6 and Ioniq 5 Siblings?
The Genesis GV60 AWD, specifically the Overdrive Performance trim, is presented as a premium, albeit expensive, electric sibling to the Kia EV6 and Hy... moreundai Ioniq 5. The reviewer highlights its striking, futuristic design and a host of fancy interior features, including digital camera mirrors and a unique crystalline gear selector. Performance is a strong suit, with rapid acceleration (0-100 km/h in 4.0 seconds) and a high top speed, though it's noted as slightly slower than the EV6 GT. Charging is impressive, achieving 10-80% in 18 minutes thanks to its 800V architecture. Real-world range is estimated at 400-450 km in good conditions. However, the GV60 is criticized for its stiff suspension, even in comfort mode, and a perceived lack of interior space for taller individuals, making it feel smaller than its price suggests. The digital camera mirrors are functional but lack the perceived depth of traditional mirrors. Despite its high price point (around €84,000), the GV60 offers a unique, tech-laden experience, but its comfort and space might not fully justify the cost compared to its siblings. less
Kia EV6 GT Driving Review - The Compact EV Supercar in Disguise?
The Kia EV6 GT is presented as a "compact EV supercar in disguise," delivering blistering acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds) and a top... more speed of 260 km/h, rivaling much more expensive performance EVs. The reviewer highlights significant hardware changes, including a stronger rear motor, revised suspension with softer front and stiffer rear springs, and adaptive dampers (ECS), which contribute to both sportiness and surprising comfort on normal roads. The interior is praised for its sporty, animal-free materials and user-friendly physical controls for climate and volume, though the infotainment system is considered basic. Practicality is maintained with ample rear legroom and a usable trunk, though the frunk is small. Real-world range is estimated around 400 km in good conditions, with impressive DC fast-charging capabilities. While not a dedicated track car due to some body roll, the GT mode and drift mode offer significant fun. The reviewer concludes it's a highly impressive and capable everyday driver, offering supercar-like performance at a more accessible price point. less
Renault Megane EV Driving Review - Finally A New Small EV! 2023 Mégane E-Tech Electric
The Renault Megane e-Tech Electric is presented as a compelling option in the compact EV segment, addressing the market's need for smaller electr... moreic vehicles. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly strong design, which belies its compact dimensions, and notes its shorter length compared to rivals like the VW ID.3. Key positives include the modern interior featuring recycled materials, a user-friendly Android Automotive infotainment system with native Google Maps, and a comfortable ride, even with larger wheels. The reviewer praises its agile handling and sporty feel, attributing it to the low center of gravity and multi-link rear suspension, making it fun to drive. However, criticisms are raised regarding the overly sensitive and sometimes harsh steering response, particularly in sport mode, and the hard interior materials in certain touchpoints. The digital rearview mirror is deemed less practical than a traditional one due to the inability to accurately judge distances. While the real-world range is considered decent (around 375 km or 240 miles in warm conditions), it's noted that efficiency can be impacted by high speeds. The pricing, nearing €50,000 for higher trims, is also a point of consideration. less
BMW iX vs BMW X5 M50i Car Comparison Review - EV or Petrol, What’s Better?
The reviewer pits the BMW iX xDrive50 against the BMW X5 M50i, evaluating their exterior, interior, and driving dynamics. While the X5's traditio... morenal styling and more intuitive user interface are praised, the iX impresses with its unique, futuristic lounge-like interior and superior handling due to its lower center of gravity. The reviewer notes the X5's V8 offers a more emotional driving experience with its sound and vibrations, but acknowledges the iX's superior performance and efficiency, especially at lower speeds. The X5's trunk space is larger, and its user interface is considered more practical, though it's expected to receive updates that will bring it closer to the iX's system. Ultimately, the choice hinges on personal preference: the iX for its cutting-edge technology and sporty agility, or the X5 for its traditional BMW feel, more engaging driving dynamics, and practical interior, especially with the more fuel-efficient six-cylinder option. less
Nissan Ariya Driving Review - Suddenly The Best EV?
The Nissan Ariya is presented as a significant contender in the EV market, potentially a game-changer for Nissan. The reviewer highlights its premium ... moreinterior, featuring high-quality materials like microfiber and wood accents, and a spacious, comfortable cabin. Notable features include a movable center console, a panoramic roof with a shade, and a digital rearview mirror. The driving experience is described as both comfortable and sporty, with good noise insulation and a smooth ride, even on the 19-inch wheels. The reviewer praises its efficiency, achieving an impressive 13 kWh/100km under ideal conditions, suggesting a real-world range exceeding 450 km for the small battery and over 650 km for the large battery. However, the reviewer notes some drawbacks, such as the capacitive climate controls being less intuitive while driving and the steering wheel not adjusting low enough for some drivers. The electric opening of the storage compartment is also deemed a potentially unnecessary gimmick. Despite these minor criticisms, the Ariya is positioned as a top pick in its segment, justifying its premium pricing through its overall execution and competitive range. less
Mercedes EQE 53 AMG Driving Review - How Good Is The AMG EV?
The Mercedes EQE 53 AMG is presented as the top-spec performance EV sedan, offering supercar-like acceleration and a dynamic driving experience. The r... moreeviewer highlights its aggressive AMG styling, standard air suspension, and rear-axle steering, though notes the latter's limited angle in the AMG version. Performance figures are impressive, with the optional Dynamic Plus package enabling a 0-100 km/h time of 3.3 seconds. However, the vehicle's considerable weight is a recurring theme, impacting agility and making it feel less nimble than lighter sports cars. Interior highlights include the optional MBUX Hyperscreen and quality materials, but the reviewer criticizes the reliance on capacitive controls for volume and other functions. Practicality is a mixed bag, with decent rear passenger space but a limited 430-liter trunk. Real-world range is estimated around 400-500 km in summer, dropping to 250-400 km in winter due to the lack of a heat pump. The reviewer concludes that while the EQE 53 AMG delivers thrilling acceleration and a sporty feel, the significant weight and the diminishing difference between performance and standard EV models for AMG are notable drawbacks. less
All-New Astra Sports Tourer Review 2022 Opel Vauxhall Astra Estate Elegance vs GS-Line vs Ultimate
The Opel/Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer 2022 is presented as a compelling option in the compact estate segment, particularly for its strong price-perfor... moremance ratio. The reviewer highlights the stunning exterior design, especially in the 'Vertigo Blue' and 'Thomas Blue' colors. Interior comfort is a major plus, with the 'Elegance' trim's bright fabric seats praised for their comfort and Scandinavian-inspired design, though the sportier microfiber seats in higher trims are also noted as comfortable. A key advantage is the retention of physical buttons for climate control and infotainment, a welcome contrast to touch-sensitive alternatives. However, the interior is not without its flaws, with some lower-quality plastics and a cheap-feeling center console being noted drawbacks. Driving dynamics are described as agile and fun, with direct steering and a well-tuned automatic gearbox, even in the 1.2-liter 130hp petrol engine. The estate version offers a settled ride due to its longer wheelbase, though it sacrifices a slight edge in agility compared to the hatchback. The reviewer recommends the 'Elegance' trim with the 1.2 petrol engine as the best value, balancing features, comfort, and affordability. The car is positioned as a practical, emotional, and versatile family vehicle that excels in its price bracket, outperforming competitors like the VW Golf Variant in value. less
All-new Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV Sedan! Can It Challenge the Tesla Model 3? Exterior Interior Review!
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 presents a bold and unique design, significantly departing from its sibling, the IONIQ 5. The reviewer highlights the 'flow&#... more039; design language, the distinctive pixel lighting, and impressive aerodynamic efficiency (Cd of 0.21), comparing it favorably to more expensive vehicles like the Lucid Air. Interior highlights include a "mindful cocoon" concept, a fully flat central partition designed for laptop use, and a unique charging indicator on the steering wheel. However, the reviewer expresses reservations about the leather seats, advocating for vegan alternatives, and notes a slight lack of bolstering. While the rear seating offers good legroom thanks to the long wheelbase, headroom is somewhat compromised by the roofline. Charging capabilities are expected to mirror the IONIQ 5, with a potential range of over 300 miles for the largest battery, benefiting from the 800-volt architecture and aerodynamic improvements. The boot space is deemed adequate but not expansive, and the frunk is primarily for charging cables. Overall, the IONIQ 6 is praised for its exciting design and innovative features, positioning it as a strong contender in the EV sedan market, though some interior material choices and practicality aspects warrant consideration. less
Tesla Model Y Performance From Berlin Giga Review - The Supercar EV SUV
The Tesla Model Y Performance, built in Berlin, is reviewed as a "supercar EV SUV" offering blistering acceleration (0-100 km/h in 3.7 secon... moreds) and a top speed of 250 km/h, significantly outperforming the Long Range model. The reviewer highlights the improved build quality from the Berlin factory, noting well-executed panel gaps. Positives include the sporty aesthetics with 21-inch wheels and carbon fiber lip, responsive infotainment, and spacious interior with good rear seating. However, the suspension, while sporty and providing excellent handling on smooth roads, is criticized for being overly stiff and uncomfortable on rough surfaces, a persistent issue even with the Performance model. The lack of physical climate controls and a digital instrument cluster are noted drawbacks. Real-world range is estimated at around 400 km (250 miles) in summer, less in winter. Despite the stiff suspension, the reviewer finds the Berlin-built Model Y's ride quality comparable or slightly better than the Shanghai version, making it a compelling, albeit firm, performance EV option. less
All-New 2023 BMW X1 With BMW iX1 (EV) Premiere Review
The 2023 BMW X1, including the all-new iX1 electric variant, receives a comprehensive review, highlighting its "power of choice" approach wi... moreth multiple powertrains and trim levels. The reviewer praises the updated exterior styling, particularly the M Sport package with its sinister black accents and the X-Line's chrome details, noting the increased length and width over the previous generation. Inside, the new dual-screen cockpit (BMW OS8) with a head-up display is a significant upgrade, and the reviewer is impressed by the new perforated Sensatec seats, finding them softer and better than the animal-skin option, though the microfiber sport seats remain a personal favorite for sportiness. The iX1's battery capacity is noted as smaller than some competitors, potentially impacting range, though its efficiency is yet to be fully tested. The reviewer's top recommendation is the 23i petrol model with the M Sport trim for its driving dynamics and comfort, while acknowledging the iX1 as a viable electric option for those with charging infrastructure. A minor drawback mentioned is the non-adaptive cup holders. less
BMW iX M60 Driving Review - Vibrating Launch Control in Front of Tesla Giga
The BMW iX M60 is presented as the ultimate performance electric SUV, boasting significant power upgrades over the standard iX. The review highlights ... moreits impressive acceleration, particularly the "shaking" launch control feature, and a top speed unlocked to 250 km/h. While the M60 shares much of its exterior and interior design with the regular iX, it features distinct "Titan Bronze" accents and larger wheels. The reviewer praises the comfortable and luxurious animal-free interior materials, the spaciousness, and the advanced features like the electrochromatic roof and camera cleaning function. However, criticisms are leveled at the infotainment system (iDrive 8), which is deemed more complicated than its predecessor, and the polarizing design of the front grille. The steering feel is described as somewhat artificial, though the stiffened air suspension and rear-axle steering provide excellent handling for its size and weight. Real-world range is estimated around 400-550 km depending on conditions. Ultimately, the M60 is positioned as a high-priced, high-performance luxury choice for those prioritizing power and driving dynamics over infotainment simplicity, though the iX3 is suggested as a better value proposition for general use. less
Lucid Air Driving Review Dream Edition - Is It The Best EV In The World?
The Lucid Air Dream Edition is presented as a groundbreaking entry into the EV market, aiming to redefine electric mobility. The reviewer highlights i... morets exceptional range, with the Dream Edition capable of 452 miles and realistic expectations of 400 miles even with spirited driving, surpassing the 500-mile barrier. The design prioritizes function over form, achieving a remarkable 0.2 drag coefficient, which contributes to its efficiency and spaciousness, particularly the impressive frunk. Inside, the cabin boasts high-quality, sustainable materials and a striking 32-inch 5K display, though the lack of a head-up display and the integration of controls are noted as minor drawbacks. Rear seating comfort is a significant advantage, offering ample legroom and headroom. Driving dynamics are praised for their agility and composure, especially when pushed, with multiple drive modes available. However, the reviewer criticizes the large diameter of the steering wheel, finding it less engaging than competitors like the Porsche Taycan, and notes that changing regeneration modes requires navigating the digital display, which can be distracting. Despite these points, the reviewer concludes that the Lucid Air is incredibly practical, fun to drive, and offers immense value, positioning it as a strong contender and a viable option for the mass market in the future. less
VW ID5 GTX Driving Review - The VW Empire Strikes Back With The New EV SUV Coupé (US: ID.5 Pro S)
The VW ID.5 GTX is presented as the "striking back" model for Volkswagen's EV offensive, building on the ID.4's platform with a sp... moreortier SUV coupé design. The GTX trim, featuring AWD and a larger battery, offers brisk acceleration (6.3 seconds 0-100 km/h) and agile handling, feeling surprisingly nimble like a Golf despite its weight. The reviewer highlights the premium feel of the optional sport seats and the advanced augmented reality head-up display. However, criticisms include the continued use of capacitive buttons, the infotainment system's user interface which, while improved with software 3.1, is not class-leading, and the lack of a front trunk. Charging speeds differ between the GTX (155 kW peak) and Pro models (135 kW peak), with the Pro versions being slightly faster for 5-80% charging. Real-world range achieved was approximately 400 km (250 miles) on a 77 kWh battery with a consumption of 19 kWh/100km under favorable conditions. The ID.5 is deemed a stylish alternative to the ID.4, with the choice largely coming down to personal preference. less
Alfa Tonale Veloce vs Ti Driving Review! Will The All-New Compact SUV Be The Alfa Romeo Bestseller?
The Alfa Romeo Tonale, particularly in its Veloce and Ti trims, is presented as a strong contender in the compact SUV segment, aiming to become the br... moreand's bestseller. The reviewer highlights the striking Italian design as a key selling point, evident in both exterior styling and interior details. The Veloce trim is lauded for its sportier aesthetic and Alcantara seats, which are noted for comfort and breathability, while the Ti offers a more elegant appearance. Performance is generally positive, with the 1.5-liter MHEV engine praised for its responsiveness and efficiency, though the reviewer notes it's more than a mild hybrid but not a full hybrid. The driving experience is described as fun and agile, especially on winding roads, differentiating it significantly from the Jeep Compass platform it shares. However, comfort is compromised with the optional 20-inch wheels, making the ride stiff, a concern even with the adaptive suspension. The reviewer suggests opting for smaller wheels for better ride quality. The interior features are a mix, with praise for real climate controls and digital displays, but some criticism of material quality in certain areas. The trunk space is noted as being smaller than competitors. The reviewer also touches upon Alfa Romeo's rapid transition to electrification, with the Tonale being a significant step in that direction. less
First-Ever Mercedes T-Class Reveal - Kangoo Brother or VW Caddy Destroyer?
The Mercedes T-Class is presented as a premium small van focused on passenger comfort and family use, distinguishing itself from its Renault Kangoo si... morebling through enhanced interior materials and design elements. The reviewer highlights the availability of both short-wheelbase (5-seater) and long-wheelbase (7-seater) versions, with standard features like sliding doors and optional LED lighting. Interior highlights include the use of Neotex material, optional Artico/Microcut seats, and a standard MBUX infotainment system with physical controls, which the reviewer praises for its responsiveness over larger Mercedes screens. While the base model starts under €30,000, higher trims like 'Style' and 'Progressive' add significant cost. The 'Progressive' trim, while lacking the split rear hatch of the 'Style' trim, offers a more premium interior finish. Practicality is emphasized with 90-degree opening doors for easier child seat installation and ample headroom. However, the reviewer notes that legroom in the rear can be tight for tall adults, and the sound system is considered basic. The T-Class is positioned as the most affordable Mercedes, offering a blend of premium features and practicality, though some elements still betray its shared platform with less premium vehicles. less
All-New Mazda CX-60 Driving Review With First-Ever PHEV! (CX-70 US) Can It Challenge X3, Q5 And GLC?
The Mazda CX-60 presents a compelling, albeit complex, package. Reviewer highlights its sporty design, premium interior materials, and the innovative ... moredual-screen setup, noting the welcome return of physical buttons. The driving dynamics are praised for their sporty tuning and precise steering, especially in normal and sport modes, offering a more engaging experience than some rivals. However, the reviewer finds the ride can be overly stiff, particularly with the 20-inch wheels, and suggests opting for 18-inch wheels for better comfort. A significant point of contention is the PHEV powertrain; while acknowledging its smooth transition and decent EV range (around 50km), the reviewer expresses a preference for Mazda's traditional inline-six petrol or diesel engines, citing the added weight and less natural feel of the PHEV system. The reviewer also notes that while the CX-60 feels larger and more luxurious than the CX-5, the latter still offers a more driver-inclusive and natural sporty feel. The CX-60 is positioned as a more spacious, premium cruiser, especially with the smaller wheels and non-PHEV powertrains. less
BMW i7 Premiere: The New King of Luxury? All-New 2023 BMW 7-Series Comes Both as EV and V8 / R6
The BMW i7 marks a significant entry into the luxury EV segment, sharing its platform with the combustion engine 7 Series, a move praised for its cons... moreistency across powertrains. The reviewer highlights the striking exterior design, particularly the optional Swarovski crystal headlights and illuminated grille, though acknowledges the polarizing nature of the front-end styling. Inside, the i7 offers a sophisticated cabin with a focus on passenger comfort, featuring high-quality materials, advanced infotainment with a 31-inch 8K Theatre Screen, and innovative 'My Modes' that alter the interior ambiance. The reviewer notes the standard animal-free 'Viganza' seats as a positive step, contrasting with the Mercedes EQS. While the i7 excels in rear-seat luxury and offers a more traditional, driver-focused feel compared to the EQS, the reviewer points out the lack of a frunk and the large, piano-black surfaces as minor drawbacks. The electric range is estimated at 600 km (400 miles) with a 102 kWh battery, and charging capabilities include 200 kW DC fast charging. Overall, the i7 is presented as a compelling, albeit ostentatious, luxury EV that rivals the best in its class, particularly in rear-seat experience and interior ambiance. less
How Is The New Hybrid AMG? Mercedes AMG GT 63 S E Performance Review
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance is reviewed as a potent, albeit heavy, hybrid performance car. The reviewer highlights its aggressive AMG styli... moreng, impressive acceleration figures (under 3 seconds to 100 km/h), and the advanced Formula 1-derived hybrid drivetrain with a fluid-cooled battery pack. While the car offers exhilarating performance on the racetrack, particularly in its acceleration out of corners, the reviewer notes its significant weight (nearly 2.5 tons) and the compromise in everyday comfort. The suspension, even in comfort mode, is described as firm, and the car constantly reminds the driver of its sporty nature, making it less comfortable than rivals like the CLS, Panamera, or A7. The pure electric range is deemed insufficient for daily commuting, serving primarily as a performance boost. The reviewer suggests that for those prioritizing comfort, opting for the standard sport seats and 20-inch wheels might be advisable, or even considering a CLS or A7 if comfort is a higher priority. Ultimately, it's presented as a car for those who need four doors but refuse to compromise on a sporty focus, even at the expense of some everyday usability. less
