Features is the main talking point and Pack 2 offers LED lighting, glass roof, dualzone AC, 12.3 inch screen, 16 speaker audio system with Dolby Atmos plus wireless charging, 6 airbags and disc brakes. The XEV gains more features though and it retains the three screens setup and alloys while the BE 6 has aero covers.

While the Pack 1 has the basics covered, the Pack 2 adds in more features like dualzone climate control, front parking sensors, powered drivers seat, 16 speaker audio system, ADAS and more. So while it is more value for money than the Pack 1, what do you lose out on the Pack 3? Well, it includes a 360 degree camera, front ventilation for the seat and adaptive suspension plus video calling, auto park and power tailgate/boss mode.
