Impressions/observations during the test drive:
The exterior design of this vehicle is cool and modern-looking. It has a good enough amount of chrome and paint-matched details all around the vehicle, those things are not over-used in this car's design. Moving over the inside, the material quality is good enough for this car and its price point. There is also some nice ambient lighting at the 2nd row seats. Its gear shifter does not look like a usual one, which gives this interior a techy and unique vibe. In regards to technology, this car does not disappoint, it has a screen beside the speedometer and in the dashboard. The transitions and responsiveness of both of these screens are good enough which makes them easy to use. The infotainment screen contains the menus for the driving mode settings (standard and eco), as well as the regenerative braking settings. It also has a reverse camera system which has a good-enough video quality too. There is also a built-in dash camera which may be used to record videos and take photos outside the car.
This car has an electric motor only since it is a purely electric vehicle. The electric motor is the one responsible for moving the car. In quicker-paced driving situations, this car accelerates really quickly because of the electric motor's availability of instant 100% torque (in gasoline-powered cars, more power and torque becomes available as the RPMs rise). However, compared to internal-combustion engine powered cars, this has close to zero sound. It only has one forward gear which makes this car's acceleration uninterrupted since there is no need for gear shifts anymore. This kind of transmission contributes to both the car's ride comfort and performance. The quietness of the vehicle's powertrain also contributes to the pleasantness and comfort of the ride. The accelerator and brake pedals of the car respond well to the driver's inputs. The suspension of this car is obviously designed for comfort, rather than sportiness since its ride quality is smooth even when driven through rough road surfaces. The steering of this car is light and is easy to maneuver around. It is not too light that it is vague already though, which is a nice thing. Overall, this vehicle is something ideal for daily driving around the city streets.

The space inside is immense. This is the closest thing you could get to the Queen's Golden Jubilee Bentley State Limousine in terms of space at an attainable price.
