Recently test drove the Techno Esprit Alpine trim level and ordered one.
Pros: Screens excellent – very hi-res, largest and brightest HUD I’ve seen, seat v.comfortable, lovely ride, almost silent around town as stayed in electric mode, engine noise unintrusive unless you floor it, 59mpg recorded in a 1.5 hour test drive around a city and out on the motorway, no range anxiety, easy to get in and out of. It felt really good to be inside.
Cons: It’s a bit dark inside (Iconic has a sunroof, but isn’t on scheme). I’m sure I’ll find more cons once we have it in 3ish weeks, ‘cos no car is perfect.
Yes, those paddles are for regenrative nraking.
Current: MY24 Renault Austral Iconic FHD.
Ordered 5/2/26: Chery Tiggo 8 'Summit' ICE
