Verdict

By making its segment-exclusive hybrid technology more accessible, the brand not only strengthens its commitment to electrification but also broadens its appeal to a wider customer base. For consumers, this translates into an opportunity to own a technologically advanced, fuel-efficient sedan, packed with premium features and safety tech, at a more attractive price point.However, do note that with a big battery pack loaded in the trunk bed, you miss out on a subtantial chunk of the boot space. But if you are okay with that bargain, the mileage will just balance everything out, especially if its for your city drives!
