I would say it didn’t look enough like the concept car they showed that was so popular it got green lit. Plus it was a few years late in terms of battery capacity at the price point they tried to sell it at. £30k+ for 35kwh was a bit of joke at the time. Renault Zoe was a cheaper and had a nearly 50% larger battery.
Such a good little car, but the interior looked like a scene out of Minority Report. Just needed a smidge less “concept car”.

250 mile range, $26,000.
The R5 is basically the third gen Zoe when it comes to tech, such an upgrade in terms of looks.
