FWD layout may not suit buyers seeking AWD traction
0–100 km/h in 8.0 s won’t satisfy performance‑focused drivers

Huge 971 L cargo capacity suits family gear and luggage
Long 800 km range reduces fuel stops on road trips
Good value in its segment at around 28,000 for a spacious, efficient 5-seater
Modest acceleration (0–100 km/h in 10.5 s) won’t satisfy performance seekers
Front-wheel drive may not suit buyers who want AWD traction
Small 1.9 kWh battery means minimal electric-only operation
