WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

The price buys the two-motor hybrid, a strong chassis and a mature, mass-market service/parts ecosystem. It is not the quietest on coarse asphalt, but it is unusually quick and efficient without a luxury surcharge.

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

Understated, low-slung cabin; physical climate dials and clear steering-wheel buttons are a model of fast-use ergonomics. Low entry height will not suit everyone.
