    It is basically a boxy hatch back that looks like a SUV, its not long, or wide as one as a SUV at all, its similar height to all the other (new) small hatchbacks at this price point, Renault 5/4, Dacia Spring, Hyundai Inster, Polo EV, Mini EV, etc. Sure its hardly low to the ground like a MX5 but then buyers of this don’t want that, and vice versa.

    Its shaped like a SUV to maximize its internal space but it is as low as a normal hatch back and as tall as one, so it will have similar center of gravity. I see that as a good thing for a car in this segment. Its not trying to be sporty, its trying to be practical without being as boxy as a Wagon R.

      I’m sure it’ll sell like hot cakes because that’s what the market wants.

      But there’s not really anything for people who don’t want an SUV.

        Depends how you define SUV, as this really isnt one as its dimensions are the same as hatchbacks.

        What exactly would you like at this price point in recent history within the ICE segment? Its dominated in the UK by the Fiesta, which is approx. the exact same dimensions again, including height.
