I hadn't really paid too close attention to it's specs until the unveiling earlier today.

I got a bit excited when I saw that it very faithfully echos the 45 Concept, but this vehicle wasn't really on my radar, so I didn't know much about it. When the concept was revealed, I assumed it was a small hatchback whose form factor would be most suited to European tastes (i.e an ID.3 competitor). It turns out that this is much larger vehicle than I realized. It's basically the size of a Mach E or Model Y, so while it looks like a hatch, it's actually as tall and long as a typical midsize SUV. That makes it a bit less exciting, but it's nice to see this segment filling up with options from a variety of automakers. If they do intend to sell this stateside (press release did not specify what "select markets" means), it could be a solid alternative to the ID.4, Ariya, and the others I mentioned.
