Who it suits

Drivers who want a compact electric SUV with brisk performance (150 kW, 0 to 100 km/h in about 7.3 seconds) and who mostly drive in and around town.

Who should look elsewhere

Value-focused buyers. The Standard has the same 345 km claimed range as the much cheaper Atto 2 but is listed at a noticeably higher price, with a smaller 310 litre boot (with a spare wheel). Compare the two before you decide. Range is also modest for long trips, with highway range around 240 km.
