Looks really good. Looks Mazda-ish, which is a good thing, Mazda has been on a design roll for a long time now (only interrupted by the awkward 2nd gen Mazda3). Not *too* Mazda-esq thankfully - it doesn't look like a copycat, just good modern design.

If the Polestar 2 anything to go by (another Geely euro brand EV), this Izera could get a solid performing EV drivetrain and overall good driving experience too. Hopefully they'll make this more efficient than the P2, which is the P2's main weak point IMO. (P2 is the only Geely/Volvo tech EV I've tested, maybe the Izera car won't have anything in common, it's just all I have to go by for firsthand experience.)

Oh, another "Tesla Killer" title clickbait? How can you compare when the article has no specs: no power, no range, no charging speed, no drivetrain... Who cares if a Chinese company can make a car with a pretty shell if the guts are from 10 years ago?
