Neat. It definitely looks like a BMW X5 from the side profile, with some of face lines cleaned up/changed.

Front wheel drive seems iffy on a car of that weight, as well as range is lacking -- 40 and 60 kWh won't do 300 miles on a car that weighs 5,500 lbs, that's just ignoring basic physics - they'll do 120-160 miles if you're lucky and drive entirely slip-streaming behind trucks, you need at least a 120-150 kWh battery for a high profile SUV (with a higher drag coefficient) to attain reasonable range.

No other analytical complaints besides those - the interior looks great.

Curious to see how much this costs at MSRP
