Mind sharing what package did you get? 

Cos I'm also looking out for a sedan liftback EV that doesn't sit too low. Frameless windows will be bonus haha. So seems like only polestar 2 or model3 but dun really like Tesla. 

The other option is deepal l07 also a liftback but not sure if it will come to SG..

I didn't go for any add-on option..  pre-fl that was said to be the NZ configuration setup and fl that was SG.

Pre fl is the core version with pilot pack (like blind spot monitoring which I don't need) and fl comes with plus pack that has a panoramic roof and Harman kardon sound system. There are other app stuff on the panel that I have forgotten already.. 

Same motor but tuned differently. 

One FWD and the other RWD.

There are different features in each which I think it's better u go there and see for yourself cos I also blur.

Sitting position has also begun to be one of my criteria as well.. this one still okay compared to my low seating Jag. There were times I could not get out of the car 🤦

And yes, no offence meant to Tesla and BYD bros, I also don't like the quality feel and I prefer heavy doors which both aren't.

DengFeng 007 which is recently previewed at Vivocity, set to launch in around September, is a lift back EV with frameless windows. But rear seat fold as a piece, not spilt. It is a good looking car.

Heard end of year..

 Local agent VW group is obviously putting lower priority for Skoda EV and pushing the VW EV.

Overall ID4 equipment level is lower than Enyaq for Singapore version. 

The main missing thing for Enyaq is 360deg camera.

Thks for headsup. Just took a look at the sgcm article and indeed it's slated to launch in Q4 this year. 

"The Vigo is expected to be priced at $160,000, while the Cat A, mid-range Cat B (200kW) and range-topping Cat B (400kW) variants of the 007 are expected to be priced at $170,000, $190,000 and $250,000 respectively."

Price also seems very attractive at below $200k for the 200kw cat B which is certainly very fast liao. Tick all my boxes: Liftback, frameless windows, ventilated seats Take my money!

Elroq also have drum brakes FYI. 🙂 As tested by Mat, braking performance is just as good!

I think they must be from the same platform as the Cupra

Cos I somehow feel doors with frameless windows doesn’t have the solid door closing feel and sound. It sounds.. hollow.

and the window will keep going up down up down when opened and closed.. a lot of wear and tear on the motor

Great choice bro. 

Yes, the earlier PS2 was rather..erm.. for eg, it max out only at 160kmh 🤦

The Fl model is much better now 😬

Anyway, looking forward to join the EV gang 😜 

The EV gang u have to join is the TP gang. You are now driving the same model as them 🤣
