Pick a route you know
Include a few junctions, a stretch of faster road, and a parking stop. Check visibility, seat comfort, and whether you can reach frequently used controls without looking away from the road.
Compare regenerative braking settings
On a suitable stretch, try the available settings and note how quickly the car slows when you lift off the accelerator. Check how smoothly the car responds when you switch to the brake pedal.
