Additional requirements include 5-passenger seating, 350L minimum cargo space, comprehensive safety features including a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, and specific warranty terms (5 years/100,000km for vehicle, 8 years for battery). Service support must be available within 50km of the U.S. Consulate in Cape Town. The award will be made to the lowest-priced offeror who meets all technical requirements and responsibility criteria.
