Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“An electric car caught fire in Chitwan, reportedly killing the driver on the spot. The incident raises a serious question: How safe are EVs when things go wrong?”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“The question isn’t whether EVs are the future - it’s whether they are safe enough today.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

The 5-star NCAP score and premium features justify the price, but ground clearance trails four rivals and 13.7 kmpl efficiency means higher fuel bills.

The seven-speed dual-clutch can be jerky at crawling speeds and on steep uphill starts, but the rear legroom is generous.
