What the Second Row Actually Gets
The captain seats sit around a centre console with dedicated armrests and cupholders. Each seat also gets its own AC vent and USB charging port, which is a meaningful step up in second-row comfort for this price range.
No changes have been made to features or the powertrain, and the rest of the car remains as-is, featuring triple-screen setup, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, Level 2 ADAS, and a 360-degree camera.
Battery options are 59 kWh, 70 kWh, and 79 kWh. The 79 kWh pack claims a range of 679 km and produces 281 bhp and 380 Nm.

Rivals
The Kia Carens Clavis EV is the only other car in this price bracket with second-row captain seats, though it is an MPV rather than an SUV. Buyers looking specifically for this layout in a larger, SUV-proportioned electric vehicle now have the XEV 9S as the sole option.
