    Efficiency?? Test drove the sister car Volvo EX30 but efficiency seemed poor. This is important info. If efficiency is poor, range is terrible and costs more to run. The Brabus version will be a lot worse in this respect. . The Premium or Pro+ are probably the pick of the range .

      It depends how you see it I guess but from my tests of various cars it’s decently efficient against many other EV’s.
      It has a good coefficient of drag against the more brick like Volvos and the Volvos in the EV form like for like are heavier too.
      All these things mean the Smart will be more efficient.
      Yes no doubt if efficiency and pure out and out range are important to you you’ll find the Premium or Pro+ will be the better picks of the bunch for sure 🙌
      Thanks for watching Marky it’s great to have your questions 🫶

    Good review! Im wondering, can one drift in this car since is real wheel drive, and the engine is in the back as well, like a real sports car actually! Or is the traction control not allowing it?

      I’ve found that most of these rear wheel drive EV’s other than the super powerful ones with actual drift modes don’t.
      They all seem to have traction control systems that even when off are quite intrusive.
      It’s not a bad thing for most as a lot tend to be harder to control than most sports cars with rear wheel drive but they allow a bit and it’s still fun.
      I’ve often tried with most off cam and like I say the manufacturers allow a little but they stop it well before you get much drift angle, it’s a shame but yeah I don’t think they want to allow it.
      Thanks for watching Zoso 🙌

      No this is circa £1000 cheaper so yes not much but from my brief few experiences with Tesla (albeit I’m not saying it’s bad) this is better put together and with better materials etc. Thanks for watching Emil

      It has about 20.000 features that the model 3 does not have 🎉

      @geraldh.8047 yep this was also my thought it’s a great car with so much included at the standard price
