So it is heavier than a 15 year old Honda Insight hybrid?
But it has a rear bench and the old Insight does not.
And it may be more efficient, if that is not just due to the plugin charging.

BTW, what ordinary B segment car weighs in at 1355 kg?
Most C segment cars are lighter than that.

It is still very interesting from an engineering standpoint but the impressiveness has suffered.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
