Looks like a good Volt competitor, especially if you're putting people in the back seat. I wouldn't call it ugly, it looks much better than a gen4 Prius (Prius Prime is alright).

Will the ICE turn on under hard acceleration in EV mode? Something I like about the Volt compared to most other PHEVs is that it's 100% EV until the battery is drained or you tell it to turn the ICE on. What good is all that electric torque if stomping on the go-pedal risks/requires the ICE turning on?
