Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Spacious interior with straightforward cabin design
Good combination of athletic handling and everyday comfort
Easy-to-use infotainment system

Cons
Not very quick to accelerate, even with the optional V6
Lower fuel economy than some competitors

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Sporty-looking bodywork,
spacious inside,
generous cargo room.

Cons
Could be more fuel efficient,
lacks driving verve we're used to from VW,
plasticky interior materials.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Practical and well built interior
Potentially long warranty
Comfortable and quiet to drive

Cons
Range is nothing special
Some rivals can charge faster
Rivals have more-user friendly infotainment

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Handling is spry,
nicely-trimmed interior,
compliant ride.

Cons
Less range than rival EVs,
doesn't offer the fastest charging tech,
steer-by-wire system takes getting used to.
