But ask for more power or a sudden burst of acceleration and the e2o disappoints. For improved performance you need to select ‘B’ or ‘boost’ via the gear selector. Once you do this, throttle reposes are slightly sharper and there’s a bit more tug in the mid-range. Acceleration till around 40kph is quite strong, but after that the power delivery soon tails off even in boost mode. And the e2o tops off around 80kph.
Mechanical refinement has also been improved vastly over the earlier car. The electric motor only whines at high speed and the suspension works in a near-silent manner. The e2o’s ride also comes as a pleasant surprise. It is silent and comfortable even over big bumps, which is great. The soft suspension means that there is a bit of body roll when you steer into corners and handling isn’t sharp. The non-powered steering also could get heavy at parking speeds with a full load.
