Seats only five with no third-row option
Long journeys still require charging planning despite a 74 kWh battery

Mighty V8 biturbo with 510 hp and 700 Nm for effortless passing

Strong safety standing for its class
High fuel consumption at 12.4 L/100 km
Premium pricing around 73,700 may exceed some budgets
