Who it suits

Families who want a roomy electric SUV with decent range at a modest price. The 58.3 kWh LFP battery gives 440 km claimed (the European WLTP figure is 435 km, so about 305 km at highway speed), it uses about 15.5 kWh per 100 km, and the battery warranty is 8 years / 150 000 km.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers who want fast charging figures or boot details, which we have not found. The price is a from-price, so check the trim you are quoted. Note the 520 km figure in some press is the NEDC test and should not be compared with WLTP.
