Every once in a while, I come across an electric car that somehow manages to surprise me.

For an EV its undeniably attractive with a base price of $45,200.

This comes after other crossovers Ive driven, like theNissan Ariya,Hyundai Ioniq 5, andHonda Prologue.

Speaking of its performance, its tight steering and zippy acceleration makes for a fun drive.

In fact, it comes close to matching theBMW i4 M50 Gran Coupe.

Not only is it exceptionally bright, but its also vivid.

Colors have such a rich tone to them, which makes the colors in other displays appear muted.

Instead, it features a neat head-up display that comes up from the inside of the drivers side dashboard.

Surprisingly, its bright and visible enough all while remaining discreet looking at night.

High quality cameras

Just like todays best camera phones, EVs should also have high-quality cameras.

Theres a lot of character with this EV from the moment I unlock the vehicle with the FOB.

If thats not enough, it ends the sequence by winking at you.

Meaning, itll maintain its lane and speed when its activated while also applying the necessary braking and acceleration.

When enabled, it leans on camera and radar-based driver assistance systems to react to my driving.

For warmer weather, it also opens to let in a breeze through the interior space.

This is much less than what youd get on aSubaru SolterraorToyota bZ4X.
