The E-Tech’s cabin is fairly roomy up front with plenty of head- and legroom. The front seats are super comfortable with powered lumbar support and I wouldn’t mind them not being powered if the price point was a bit lower.
The rear seat is comfortable enough once you get seated but the top of the door apertures are low, and I have to duck my head to get in and out.
Your head also brushes against the roof lining in the back which isn’t terribly comfortable, especially considering there is no fold-down armrest to lean on.
The front row benefits the most with individual storage and you get a lot of options to choose from but the centre console is one of the most practical I’ve seen for the class. Lots of pockets and nooks that feature adjustable ‘walls’.
You get a single permanent cupholder but with the removable walls, accommodation for a second cup or bottle, can be catered for.
Underneath the multimedia screen you get a dedicated phone shelf, which I love using.
In the rear, you get two map pockets and shallow bin storage in each door.
The charging options are good with two USB-C ports in each row as well as a 12-volt outlet and a wireless charging pad up front but you miss out on V2L (Vehicle to Load) functionality in this model.
The 9.0-inch touchscreen multimedia system looks great headlining the dash and is easy to access and use. The system rebooted once on me while driving but other than that everything is responsive.
You get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and the CarPlay is easy to get started.
The steering wheel has numerous stalks, controls, regen paddle shifters and even the gearshifter on the column, too. It takes a beat to get used to it but I like how driver orientated it is.
The boot offers great storage at 440L but it’s a deep well, which might be annoying if you’re unloading heavier gear. There is underfloor storage for the cables, too, and like I said, you miss out on a powered tailgate.
