Sentiment is 61% positive, 27% neutral and 12% negative, but the composition matters more than the headline: media accounts for 58% of the evidence base and carries 7% negative, while owner communities carry 30% negative on only twelve verified reports. Positive coverage concentrates on range, charging and driving refinement; the negative narrative concentrates almost entirely on hybrid calibration (47.6% of negatives), an attribute observed on pre-production units in 91% of cases. Discussion volume has fallen 66% from its peak, and neutral feedback is dominated by pre-purchase evaluation rather than disinterest (79.6% wait-and-see). The strategic reading: the hardware narrative is credible, the software and calibration narrative is unresolved, and the evidence base is too thin on owner experience to settle the question before the hybrid's full market launch.", "zh": "本报告覆盖西欧五个市场、共 127 条反馈，时间跨度从 2025 年 3 月上市延续至 2026 年末的早期持有阶段。整体情绪为正面 61%、中性 27%、负面 12%，但构成比总量更值得关注：媒体占证据基础的 58%，其负面占比仅 7%；车主社群负面占比达 30%，却仅基于 12 份经核验报告。正面内容集中于续航、充电与行驶精致感；负面叙事几乎全部集中于混动标定（占负面 47.6%），而该属性在 91% 的情况下来自试装车观察。讨论量已较峰值下降 66%，中性反馈以购买前评估为主，而非冷淡（观望占 79.6%）。战略解读：硬件叙事已具备可信度，软件与标定叙事尚未落定，且在混动全面上市前，车主体验证据不足以定论。" }, "keyInsights": [ { "id":
