What are the standout tech features of our e-208?

3D Cockpit is great though can be a little laggy. The seats are very comfortable on any journey and the fast charging battery feature makes charging less of a chore. I also love the looks of the car, it’s a head turner and has frequently received comments on how nice it looks inside and out.
