I have to say that French cars do have a hand in creating pleasing designs.
The layout of the car has changed the neglect of ergonomics in the past French cars, and it is very easy to drive. The 7-inch LCD dashboard is displayed clearly, the button layout of the three-frame multi-function steering wheel is reasonable, the logic of the suspension central control is also good, and the practicality is quite good with the physical buttons.
