Good find!

I think excellent stats. Good range, reasonable charging time, acceleration comparable to the Aptera. Made by Geely (Chinese) now. Five passengers for families! and reasonably priced. More of a competitor for the Chevy Equinox available to order this year. The smaller EV SUV/Cross Over market is becoming crowded.

At least it is small SUVs and not large ones… small victories…

Yes. I also see some features that are similarly present to the Aptera. Pricing (non-IRA applicable credits), the minimalist interior, the single mid dash tablet screen, the comparable 0-60 times with AWD, the easily accessible (left rear quarter panel area, ala Tesla) charging port to reach (should you use a) Supercharger/Destination just like the Aptera (nowhere pre A Pillar area).

Pros: More seats, non Yoke steering, more flexible rear storage, more normal 4 wheels, real paint job and normal body panels, a frunk, no front track Aptera width issues, an excellent national Top 10 Volvo dealer (to pre order) just 6mi from my home. The list goes on that I could have missed..

I am tempted to place a deposit for a 2024 delivery, for a RWD Extended Range 69kWh variant . But still I’m keeping my high hopes up for my pre ordered Noir at this time, for that “Estimated Delivery” of 2024 as well.
