Misses
- Numerous alternatives offer better value and/or range for similar/less money
- Compromised rear seat and small-ish boot due to battery packaging
- EQ design elements may polarise

All models have a black interior as standard, though the Elite can be specified with a Denim interior colourway. This is only available on vehicles finished in Shimmering Silver or The Denim.
The Elite can be had with a two-tone exterior treatment, with a contrast colour for the roof, mirror caps and side garnishes, however this deletes the sunroof.
