Who it suits

Double-cab buyers who want a plug-in hybrid bakkie with strong performance (321 kW, 0 to 100 km/h in about 5.7 seconds), around 85 km of WLTP electric range and a payload of 835 kg.

Who should look elsewhere

Heavy-duty work and remote travel. A payload of 835 kg is modest for a working bakkie, and we have not verified towing capacity or the service network in remote areas.
