    Agreed Macca, could be of interest.

    There’s an excellent YouTube review by a guy called Max from SMC Motors.

    The main difference between the two trim levels you mention is the Iconic Alpine thingy comes with a Harmon Kardon sound system and the 4control feature which is active rear wheel steering (opposite direction at low speed to aid manoeverabilty, and same way at high speed for sharp handling)

    Both unfortunately get 20″ wheels as standard. Why ?? which may spoil the ride especially after our XC40s.B

    But overall I’m quite interested, especially with the engine/battery combo of a 1.2L 3 pot combined with decent battery to give 197 BHP and the ability to do the majority of urban journeys on electric alone.

    Entry level Techno is very well equipped, but you have to step up to middle level Techno Esprit Alpine to get heated and electric seats which is important for Mrs 72 Dudes. I think only Iconic Esprit Alpine gets a powered tailgate too
