That specific prototype is, from what i can tell, designed as a small business delivery vehicle, these are very abundant in Mexico, we are unfortunately a nation of petit resellers. It would only work in big city downtown in the US fwiw, so not missing out on much.
I dont think Ive been in a city that didnt have some 60kph stretches while transiting zones, at the very least. It’s not a bad vehicle but that is very slow - there are ebikes that are faster.
In my country e-bikes are limited to 45kph. Cities generally are limited to 50kph. We even have a special category for small cars with a 50kph top speed, so maybe Mexico is similar in that aspect.
Most places (excluding car centric ones) don’t need people to drive on expressways for daily commute.
Combine this with people using trains/planes for long distance infrequent travel and there’s no need for high speed driving if all you need is a car for routine stuff.
Only a few places come to mind where this car would be a bad fit and USA, Canada are top of the list
I guess it could be interesting for some people…
Absolutely don’t need more in any city
Then how would I show off my beautiful driving abilities at 280km/h?
Laughs in 45 MPH zones (72 Kph)
Not defending it but this car wouldn’t keep up with the regular roads I drive to work. I’m curious how quickly it can accelerate too
Mexico cities are densely populated, you’ll never need to drive above 50km/h.
That’s good, shame for export potential but it’s not like the US lets us easily buy imports anyway

Most driving in inner city doesn’t even go over 35mph without traffic, with traffic people walking with baby strollers would pass any car…
