I just bought the same car, but a 2024 lower spec Sport, not the Ultimate. Picked it up yesterday. Differences I can see between the model years, and possibly versions: Mine has slightly larger wing mirrors, and the infotainment screen is placed higher. Didn't check what it has in terms of lights yet, but i think being the lower spec version, mine doesn't have the orange footwell lights, or the light strip in the passenger side of the dashboard. first impressions after coming from a top spec Aixam (that still didn't have all the optional extras): Unless I run into reliability issues, I don't feel like going back. Fit 'n' finish is much better, quality of the materials feels much better (even closing the doors gives a more quality "thud") Systems (infotainment, car computer, ...) will take some getting used to, but what I already figured out so far is much simpler to get to and adjust than with Aixam. While my Aixam offered less in optional extras than the Ligier has STANDARD. And the Ligier drives miles better. Hard to believe than that if I would have to buy the same Aixam I had, with the same options it had, new now, it would most likely be €2000 more expensive than what from first impressions feels like a better quality car, with more standard equipment despite being lower spec.
Just went to Aixams' website car creator to check. Specced out the one I had as best the site allowed. Turns out I'm about right. With options available on the site, plus what mine had that isn't on the site, it would now be about €2.000 more than I paid the Ligier. €4.000 more even than I paid for the Aixam three years ago. For exactly the same car. Also checked Ligier's car creator for the JS50, to see what other Options I could have picked if I had gotten one ordered (I bought a showroommodel). Turns out I have the cheapest one. Yet it has everything the Aixam had, except parking sensors. But camera is placed much better than on the Aixam, so sensors aren't needed. And it has AA/ACP. Because the brochure listed it both in standard equipment and extras, I thought it would have one of them, and you'd have to pick which one you want... nope. Both are on it. And I don't feel bad about going for the showroom model without first checking what else was available. Would have picked the cheapest one anyway in the end. The other packs don't offer anything more that I want. And even the color I thought I might have preferred didn't look as nice as I thought. on the site.
