msrp?

The EV6 is fatally flawed. The 12volt battery drain problems are many and widespread in the UK. My own vehicle is still in the dealers after 3 months. Parts are all BACKORDER and shipped over from Korea which takes weeks. The dealerships are still on...

Love the design of this one and its interior as well. Unfortunately, it appears they are not offering the LR version in Eastern Europe. Hopefully they bring it round these parts next year.
