The €7,990 Astraux AL6 adds air conditioning, electric windows, cameras, and up to 112 miles of claimed range.
The faster AL7 Pro reaches 56 mph and offers 93 miles of range, putting it in the more capable L7e class.
Astraux still has to prove its safety, reliability, and support, but the Ami and Topolino already look pretty basic in comparison.
Quadricycles are nothing new in Europe. They’ve been around for years, and more recently, most of them have become electric, but they’ve always had one characteristic in common: they are about as spartan and no-frills as four-wheeled vehicles get, even the latest ones like the Citroen Ami or its Italian cousin, the Fiat Topolino.
But that will change once the Astraux AL6 and AL7 Pro hit the European market, and not only will they undercut the Ami and Topolino on price, but they will also offer a lot more features. It promises to be safer, too, thanks to a sturdy monocoque construction that makes the Ami's welded tube frame covered by plastic look insubstantial.
