Fuel economy is okay. We often use the Eco driving mode as this car still performs very well in this mode. The Sports mode is actually scary (in a good way); the speed, the acceleration, it is really surprising and we really felt the strong power output. We don’t use that mode that much for that reason.
The Interior is really a thing of beauty. Spacious back seats, the panel is sleek and filled with tech. The touch-screen dashboard is awesomely responsive as compared to other dashboards of other brands.
The AC is superb. It cools the cabin real quick even if you put it at 25-27 degrees at low fan speed.
The exterior is as beautiful as its interior. When I am outside the vehicle, I still look at tit a lot to appreciate its beauty.
The cameras are awesome as well. It automatically records when a possible collision might occur (or occurred). The 360 view is also very good with both 2D and 3D views.
My only con so far was the sound proofing of the cabin. At high speeds, you can hear the wind, the sound of rain, and passing cars as compared to other car units that I’ve tried. I wish they improved it more to at least muffle the sound of the rain.

The staff who did the checklist before servicing the car was very annoying. He had respect on my belonging. After the servicing, they handed me the car with the radio playing to the highest volume & the aircon at full blast. I myself do not do it. A little respect to the car owner.
