    Got ours last Friday and I echo pretty much everything Matt says in his review.

    The car drives superbly, feeling solid yet somehow nimble.

    The ride is firm but beautifully supple and corners flatly.

    We don’t find the seats as comfortable as the ones in our XC40, and I have had to experiment with different seat positions to get comfortable. Annoying that you can’t alter the tilt of the seat base, I think this feature was removed recently.

    Technology amazing, love the head up display and the Harmon Kardon stereo. Have spent hours just going through the menus and settings! Voice control (or BMW personal assistant as they call it) actually works and I used battery and interior pre conditioning on a frosty morning to great effect.

    Economy, a bit too early to say, but with nearly all short journeys in colder weather, efficiency is sitting at 3.1 m/kWh like Matt’s. On a longer gentle journey it was just under 4 miles/kWh.
