All the things is properly made from largely pleasing supplies. The driving place has loads of adjustment, however tall drivers will want for an extended seat squab. The rear seat is snug for adults and might slide and recline. Though the 313-litre boot isn’t large, there’s some further house underneath its flooring, in addition to a small frunk that can swallow a charging cable.

Don’t let the truth that the #1 is rear-wheel-drive idiot you into pondering that is an exhilarating driver’s automobile. You will have a Born or 4 for that. As an alternative, the #1 is properly balanced, with uncorrupted steering that’s geared medium-fast and has a reassuring weight to it, though no nice deal of suggestions.

The extreme physique roll we famous on the launch appears to have been banished, as has the scarcity of grip, the latter because of the fitment of some Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres.

The suspension is neither particularly exhausting nor particularly mushy, and there’s good isolation from each noise and vibrations. It may possibly really feel a contact underdamped at instances, however normally it’s actually fairly nice.

With 268bhp, the #1 is faster than most of its friends – enjoyable although not transformative. Nevertheless, I hope the accelerator calibration can nonetheless be tweaked earlier than launch. The regen has three settings: Customary, Sturdy and e-Pedal, however even Customary is fairly sturdy, the pedal journey that controls the regen may be very quick and there’s a slight delay to the retardation kicking in.
