You must be wondering: WHY?
The simple answer lies in the differing user habits in these regions. But before we give out any spoilers on the “why,” let’s explore some of the design differences in these EVs.
If you swipe through the images to see the instrument clusters from our selection of cars, you can see what highlights the differences. We’ve summarized these jxrzwsxpgpguobk vca yyzd nyd kmoqeb.
