    Unlike most normal car reviews, this article was a result of being driven by several people who reported snow and cold issues.

    Highlights from the article:
    • Cold shrank the AER from an EPA 26 miles (42 km) to as low as 14 miles (23 km)
    • Engine comes when asking for heat or when accelerating in the cold
    • An operational bug appeared during use.

    It is a parallel hybrid that sounds to be more blended PHEV than EREV. Also seems to be more of a power hybrid. Found no mention of a heat pump. It does have a 7.2kW charger, and the automatic transmission has a wet clutch instead of a torque converter.

    The snow tires likely didn't help with range.
