INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The mesh headrests are a clever touch, as they're both comfortable and lightweight
The controls built into the side of the passenger seat that let the driver change its position are a specialty of the automaker
There are also plenty of other conveniences, including wireless device charging, 100 W USB-C ports, and wireless Android Auto and Apple
We relied on the native navigation app, which is not as visually pretty as the one you cast from your phone to the 12.3-inch infotainment
screen, but it kept me on course on unfamiliar roads in a foreign country while suffering from jet lag
That seems worthy of a mention.
The back is spacious, for the class.

The specs sound good, and first impressions were positive, but it all comes down to pricing,
I think.

Traffic in and around Seoul makes a wonderful case for
public transport; it provided less of an opportunity for the EV4 to show its stuff beyond relatively low-speed stop-and-go, mostly topping
out at 50 mph (80 km/h) on the roads, which are heavily studded with traffic cameras
Determining a true impression of the car's range will require spending more time with it on US roads, as a result.It was, however, an easy
car to drive in traffic and to drive slowly
The ride is good over broken tarmac, although it is quite firm when dealing with short-duration bumps
Meanwhile, the steering is light but not particularly informative when it comes to providing a picture of what the front tires are
doing.Good driving dynamics help sell a car once someone has had a test drive, but most will only get that far if the pricing is right
That's yet to be announced, and who knows what will happen with tariffs and the clean vehicle tax credit between now and when the cars
arrive in dealerships toward the end of the year
However, we expect the standard-range car to start between $37,000 and $39,000, undercutting the Tesla Model 3 in the process
That sounds rather compelling to me.
