Best car I have ever seen

This car was the best due his mileage, comfort, and other features of safety make this car perfect so I considered this car is best and also the best in look, and the best because it was a hybrid.

Little expensive

It's very fun to drive a car and feature loaded and not comfortable as Maybach it would be good if they offered a 700 km range on a charge which was better at this price point or they have to make a cheap plug-in hybrid which goes upto 300 km like foreign it would have better if they made that . Eqc does not give a driving feel of gasoline or diesel
