Find chargers on the map →Who it suits
Drivers who want a long-range electric sedan for commuting and road trips. The 82.6 kWh battery gives 570 km claimed range (about 400 km at highway speed), it charges at up to 150 kW (about 26 minutes for 30 to 80%), and it does 0 to 100 km/h in about 5.9 seconds.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who wants a high seating position or the flexibility of an SUV. It is a low-slung sedan with a 400 litre boot. The listed price of about R1 million also puts it up against premium-brand rivals, so compare carefully.
