These screens weren’t fully operational in our test car, which was in Chinese-market specification and so didn’t have a European data connection. But they should offer quite the digital overload once they do work.

The usability of the central infotainment console is complex, integrating the majority of secondary systems and adjustment functions just as a Tesla’s does. Want to move a door mirror or remotely open a rear door? You will need the right touchscreen menu. Ditto to move the steering column or adjust the ventilation settings. 

It’s quite imposing until you get used to it, and it could probably be distracting until you grow used to which functions can be adjusted on the move and which need to be set before departure.

The good news is that the front passenger’s TV-size display isn’t distracting from the driver’s seat (thanks to its directional pixels) and can be switched off when not in use.

Space is generous in rows one and two and just about adult-appropriate in row three, if only for those of average height and below, so pretty class-typical.

Material quality isn’t quite a match for the likes of Audi or the latest Range Rover, but considering that this is Human Horizons very first production car, one designed, engineered and delivered to the road in only three-and-a-half years, it’s impressive. 

The front seats and comfortable and adjustable, the driving position semi-recumbent rather than off-roader-upright.

Rearward visibility is the only serious bugbear: it’s alarmingly scant in the rear-view mirror unless you’re happy to use the rear-view camera, which most who go in for a car like this will surely be content to do.

Like the Z, the X feels impressively isolated, comfortable and refined on the road, although not especially large, heavy or unwieldy. It’s lacking little in terms of up-to-date suspension and steering technology, so while it’s not an exciting drive, it manages and manipulates its mass cleverly and keeps its occupants comfortable while doing so.
