There are a couple of shortcut buttons on the steering wheel, which at least allow me to switch on the lights without searching through the settings. But everything from the driving modes and the regenerative-braking set-up, right through to the adjustment of the twitchy lane-keep assist and speed-limit warning, is hidden; at times it’s really distracting.

Practicality-wise, though, I have few complaints. Coming from a boxy Citroen e-C5 Aircross, I wasn’t confident that the 6e would feel as versatile. Yet my passengers haven’t moaned, and on a recent trip to the pumpkin patch for Halloween, I filled the deep frunk with frightening fruit of all shapes and sizes.

Inside, there’s a big central cubby, which now holds my favourite fancy-dress wig and a few snacks, while the cooled charging pad seems to do a fairly good job of preventing my phone overheating while running maps or media through wireless Apple CarPlay.

I’m making decent use of those 360-degree cameras, too. They activate when you indicate at junctions, and are really helpful when parking on tight city streets. Given that I do that day-in, day-out, I’m hoping the system will save me an expensive wheel-refurb bill when we part ways in a few months time…
