540-liter cargo area and five seats fit family gear and daily errands
Price positions it as good value in the electric AWD SUV segment
Not a budget-focused option at this price point
5.6 s to 100 km/h is quick but won’t satisfy performance enthusiasts
64.7 kWh battery and 400 km range may feel short for very long-distance touring
