Right — so you want to join the great electric car crusade, but you don't fancy turning up in the same soulless jelly mould everyone else is buzzing about? Well, this — this thing — might just be your ticket to smug, silent motoring nirvana. It's Japanese, which means it's been built with the kind of obsessive precision usually reserved for samurai swords and high-end sushi knives. It's an SUV, apparently — although, if you squint a bit, it looks more like a coupe that's been hitting the gym. The rear doors? They don't just open — they barnstorm open, revealing the sort of access you normally get on a country estate. And the front doors swing out to a full 90 degrees, as if to say: "Go on then, get in, I dare you." No one will be doing that awkward sideways shuffle here. And when you finally do get behind the wheel, it's not just a pretty face — it drives rather brilliantly too. The spec list reads like a Christmas wish list for grown-ups: sat nav, alloys, heated and electric seats, Apple CarPlay, cruise control — it's all here, short of a butler and an espresso machine. This particular example has clearly been cherished like a favourite child. It's come from Motability, with just one former keeper, a full service history, and two keys — which is practically unheard of these days. And just to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, it'll leave us with a fresh 12-month MOT, a full service, and a year's parts-and-labour warranty — all absolutely free. In short: it's stylish, sensible, and surprisingly fun. Which, let's be honest, is not something you can often say about an electric SUV.
