Features and Reviews
The Match trim level builds on the entry-level 'Life' trim by adding features like rear privacy glass and keyless entry. The vehicle is generally praised for its high quality interior feel, even with some minor plastic criticisms, and a well-designed cabin.
Infotainment: The car features a large 12.9-inch infotainment display with new, improved software for the 2024 update, physical buttons on the steering wheel, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a wireless charging pad.
Driving Experience: Reviewers at publications like Autocar and Carwow note it is easy and comfortable to drive in town and relaxing on motorways, with light steering and good body control. The eHybrid version is tuned for efficiency and comfort, though the added weight is noticeable in sporty driving compared to non-hybrid models.
Efficiency: The substantial electric range makes it a credible alternative to a full EV for those with a short commute and home charging access, offering very low running costs and a low Benefit-in-Kind tax rate for company car drivers.
