• One electric motor and two battery sizes
• Funky Cat wasn’t bad to drive, but lacked sharpness
• Rivals feel more polished

What power options are there?

You get a single choice of motor with the Funky Cat, though a hotter model is on the way with more power. In its native China, it’s offered as a less powerful base model, but we doubt that version will be offered here.

It’s offered with a 48kWh or 63kWh battery powering a 171hp motor driving the front wheels, with the same performance figures claimed for both. Acceleration is pretty nippy – 0-30mph comes up in 3.8 seconds, with the 0-62mph time quoted at 8.3 seconds. Maximum speed is limited to 99mph.
