There is a significant difference between the lower and higher-equipped versions, but even the base model includes all the essential extras. The top-tier trim truly feels premium, for example, even the door panels are different.

Pros:


Plenty of space everywhere, great design.
VERY comfortable, quiet, and refined car.
Strong and fast, but not meant for aggressive driving.
Good consumption: in suburban driving with little highway use, 18kWh/100km; on longer trips, the Sprimonitor average of 21kWh is realistic.
The "auto regen" function is very smart.

Cons:

Not a cornering machine, more of a touring car.
The sound system could be better for this price.
The high beams are just acceptable.
Matte paint is tricky to clean.
No rear wiper.
19" wheels would have been enough; I don’t need the 20" for looks, and they reduce the range.

Highly recommended for anyone who can afford the high price but doesn’t want to show off with a flashy German premium brand. People will still turn their heads… The ultra-fast charging makes it perfectly suitable for long trips without compromise. Maybe the driving experience is somewhat lacking—I used to own a Honda, which says a lot. However, my next car will also be a Hyundai if they maintain their technological edge over the rest of the world.

Issue list:

The steering wheel squeaks a little, but I haven't taken it to service yet.
