Or you could take the “strikingly assertive” route without being too aggressive…

Will this be judged via dummies or via the 3/2 (and not 3/+2) seating option in the game?

It’ll be via dummies, and overall vibe in cases with no interior.

If you look at the gallery of Chinese cars (Which is weirdly shrunk? Not sure why and can’t fix it.), you can see that there’s a fairly small area behind the door, which is where the rear seats usually just barely fit. The C-Pod is a decent amount too small, and can’t fit 4 seats.

The Betterdeals is a great example of a car which does poorly on this metric, due to how it uses its interior space (and how it deliberately constrains it!)

*** Speed and acceleration times shown are in Dreadnaught mode and do not reflect times in ECO mode

2020 Mara Skuter EV

Trying to fill the market gap created by the jump in size of the formerly small Zora for its Mk4 evolution, the Skuter was Mara’s first attempt to compete in the small EV citycar market.



The car was developed as part of a wider EV mobility scheme in the late 2010s in Archana to enhance transportation within and between the bigger cities in the Archanan basin especially in the eastern part around Lake Mara (as the infrastructure and distances in the rural areas were deemed to be unsuitable for EVs). Oh, and it’s green. :grin:

As a bonus, the Skuter was also available as small EV panel van for those inner city deliveries.

Um… can I resubmit? looking over the brief again, I realize I may have missed the mark by a lot…

Feel free to re-submit. It varies by host, but I usually don’t start judging until end of subs and allow resubs whenever.

The 2024 BeEV

By Halvson

Halvson is proud to present the BeEV, Australia’s take on the small EV.

With large amounts of cabin space, more than adequate around town power and range, and features more commpnly seen on larger cars such as our HalvEye HUD and HalvSafe II safety systems, it more than punches above its weight.

The BeEV also stands out from the crowd, using our new Highlight design language to its fullest, allowing for almost infinite colour combinations between the main body colour and the accent colours*.

The Halvson BeEV, bringing a splash of fun to city streets.


Visit us online at www.halvson.com.au for more information, configuration options, and to order a car today.

Colour combinations are split between 12 main body colours and 9 accent colours. Most colour combinations are pre-set, but can be changed on order for an additional fee. Special editions may introduce unique colour combinations.
