What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the Evo is a big step on from the original Atto 3, with a roomier, well-finished cabin, a more useful boot, lots of standard equipment and much faster charging. The common criticisms are an unsettled ride, heavy or vague steering and wind noise at speed; several found the all-wheel-drive Excellence needlessly fast for its chassis.
