On the other hand, the Aletra L8 EV's cabin is indeed very spacious. The KatadataOTO team member, with a height of 175 cm, did not feel cramped.
When sitting in the second-row seats, there is still about 30 cm of legroom remaining. So, your legs can be stretched straight forward.
As for headroom, there is about 20 cm of space left. So passengers and the driver don't have to worry about bumping their heads.
To enhance comfort, the Aletra L8 EV is equipped with six-way electric adjustments for the front seats. This makes it very easy for the driver to find the ideal seating position.
Meanwhile, the second row features captain seats for passengers. Unfortunately, their position adjustment is still manual.
For entertainment, the Aletra L8 EV is equipped with a 12.4-inch touchscreen head unit. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Using the head unit, the owner can operate several features. Such as navigation, music, and the 360-degree camera.
To meet the needs of young families, this EV has a luggage capacity of up to 459 liters. It can carry large suitcases, children's gear, or holiday luggage.
The Aletra L8 EV is also equipped with an in-cabin air quality management system. It has a negative ion purifier and a PM 2.5 filter, ensuring clean air.
For charging smart devices, there is a 50W wireless charger in the center console, as well as Type-C and USB ports.
It should be noted that the KatadataOTO team got to drive the Aletra L8 EV first. Starting from Kemang, South Jakarta.
When we drove it, the EV was quite agile. Especially when navigating through traffic on Ampera Raya to the JORR Toll Road.
Entering the MBZ Toll Road up to the Trans-Java Toll Road, the Aletra L8 EV drove stably and comfortably. This was thanks to its well-tuned suspension setup.
When pushed at high speeds on the highway, the Aletra L8 EV's ride was not harsh. Cabin vibrations were well-dampened.
