Let’s be honest: a six-month or even one-year test in a BMW, Mercedes or Audi is unlikely to shake out any serious flaws in the car or the networks that support it. The German premium brands have the construction of their cars and the cosseting of their customers so well sorted that glitches are rare, though they make great copy when they do occur.
All that might make the GV70 Electrified sound very appealing: a luxury SUV built using bits familiar from the brilliant Kia EV6, among others, with no oleaginous dealer to haggle with nor distant showroom to trek to. But building cars to compete with those German brands is really hard, and non-European luxury brands have struggled to compete with the home teams in Europe, either growing slowly and staying relatively niche like Lexus, or failing like Infiniti.
The matte grey paint and very dark green interior are brilliant, though: an odd-sounding combination but it works. The quilted nappa leather upholstery is a £2350 upgrade and further enhances that Bentley feel, or you can have the same colours in the standard trim.
