In their own words

Okay trying to be fair. No way is this a 300 mile range car. Winter 220 summer 240.

Huge difference than the quoted ability. On this alone I wish I’d never bought the car.

Inside is the most plastic feeling car I’ve ever had. Hard plastic everywhere. Similar cars from the same stable have much nicer interiors. (Niro, soul) flimsy panels also mean any slight bump and you’ll be replacing the part. I mean any slight touch. Seats uncomfortable. Stereo Krell okay. Nothing special. No wireless CarPlay unless you buy the basic model! Terrible.

Handling is quite good but more due to the low battery and centre of gravity than any other reason. Noisy on motorway.

Charging. You’ll never get the speed charging that Hyundai quote. Never. All in all not wildly happy.
