The car's supposed to be 2-inches lower.
Don't know about frontal area and CdA.
So they've caught up with the 1996 EV1, and just short of the 1990 Cd 0.196 ROVOMOBIL cardboard and duct tape special, and Cd 0.195, 1978 Daimler-Benz' M-B C-111 III ( M-H ).
Glad to see it!  |
Could you make any guesses to why it’s highway mpg still doesn’t beat the Hyundai Ioniq hybrid blue? Wouldn’t a cd that low with a stronger engine mean better highway mpg? Why can’t they get their highway to match the Ioniq hybrid?
