AWD traction suits winter climates and mixed-weather road trips
Practical 5-seat SUV format with a usable 550 L trunk for family life

Not for performance driving; 156 hp and a 0-100 km/h time of 8.0 s are modest
Gasoline-only powertrain if you want electrified driving
550 L cargo area may feel tight for cargo-heavy use or bulky gear
Price may still stretch tight budgets despite its positioning

450 km range from a 66.5 kWh battery supports longer journeys with fewer stops
Five seats and a 490 L boot fit everyday family gear

Good value in its segment for a premium-brand electric SUV
0–100 km/h in 8.6 s won’t satisfy performance seekers
