New Model Blends Comfort, Tech, and Practicality for Enjoyable Driving
A new model has hit the market, offering a blend of comfort, technology, and practicality. The vehicle's interior and features promise an enjoyable driving experience.
The seats, while lacking lateral support, provide a good driving position. The interior boasts soft plastics throughout, except for the panel housing the forward/reverse switch and drive mode selector. Storage and organisation are well catered for with a 437-litre boot equipped with dividers and hooks.
Tech features abound. A half-hidden phone charge pad under the armrest prevents distraction during spirited driving. The top trim includes a Bose sound system with speakers in the driver's headrest for clear navigation whispers. A Google-based navigation and communication system offers an EV route planner for charging stops and automatic battery preconditioning. The back seat room is spacious, with the usual caveat of potential foot space issues with taller front seat occupants.
The vehicle's navigation system and communication setup feature a simplified headunit screen for ease of use while driving. It supports smartphone mirroring via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and offers hands-free operation through voice commands using assistants like Siri or Google Assistant. The system also supports various camera inputs and seamless switching between the OEM system and smartphone integration. Steering wheel controls minimise touchscreen use, keeping drivers' eyes on the road.
The new model offers a comfortable and tech-savvy interior, with a focus on driver convenience and safety. Its practical boot space and EV-friendly navigation system make it a compelling choice for tech-minded drivers.
