    It is a beautiful car, and the fact that it is not as efficient as quite a few other electric cars has of course something to do with the box shape, but you know that when you buy such an electric car 👍

  • @toyotaprius79
    @toyotaprius79 11 місяців тому +1

    It's ugly for everything but the styling. I wouldn't even want to call it a van for only allowing 5 seats in the short wheel base model, having to pony up for a LWB for just two more seats.... That's inexcusable. Compared to the Caddy or T7 multicvan it's less practical and thought out. Added on top it's annoying that neither Caddy or T7 come as all electric.
    It's a posh family alternative to a RangeRover . It's sadly pretentious
    It's the NewBeetle all over again which is sad, a lot of faith, patience and buzz was put into the ID. BUZZ
    That's what's ugly about it
