It bears several design cues from its parent company, giving it distinctive styling that blends elements of both hatchback and crossover. Under the bodywork it boasts a choice of rapid powertrains, offering a range of up to 336 miles. The brand has applied the same design techniques inside, too, with a luxury interior trimmed in vegan-friendly materials, and an array of new technology including the latest Android operating system. But is this enough to make the ‘2’ a genuine rival to the Model 3? Nicola heads to the Carbuyer test track to find out.
