Hello people!
Isn't it funny that newer / electric vehicles always have numbers? haha.
We're trying to replace our BMW X4 M40i with an electric option so that way we're fully electric, test drove those vehicles this weeekend and I do have some impressions that I would like to share. Take in consideration what we test drove are base models, which is what we want, we don't want another expensive car, we already have the Taycan. We want a more cost effective alternative second car. Range is also not a priority. Price target $45-48k.
ID.4. Pro S. loved the suspension, it's so smooth!! seats are a dream, it truly would be a very nice comfortable road trip vehicle. But it was very slow. I don't expect a sports car, but for the $45k, you expect more torque. It's an electric car after all, they should be fun, this is why a lot of people adapt to electric cars, speed and torque, not really into "saving the world". No frunk, that was really bad. Infontainment kinda slow and ugly, but ambient lights are awesome.
EV6. I do not like Kia, never have. But Kia ever since they changed their logo is killing it. Same platform as IONIQ 5, this car I really liked. Snappy UI, suspension not as comfortable as the ID.4, very nice materials used in the cabin, the cabin is a really nice place to be. Better acceleration, but not quite as fun. I do love the looks, boyfriend does not, he thinks it's too futuristic. I particularly love how bold and different it looks, different materials and compositions in the exterior. This car along with the IONIQ 5 are gonna break the market.
Polestar 2. I've always liked these cars, they're beautiful. Surprisingly affordable. Base model does not have panoramic roof, does noit have the cool gold calipers, does not have the nice audio system. It's still fast, comparable to a Dual Motor Model 3. UI is great, made by Google. Space in the backseat is not the greatest but I love the fact it's a sportsback. It does have a frunk. Loved this car, it ain't perfect, but for the price I think this is the winner. Also wait time is 3-4 months, not 8-12 months.
In my opinion, it truly is refreshing to see so many great options!n Cannot buy a Tesla anymore, they're too popular, they're everywhere, I do not like that. Polestar 2 is a new brand, unique looks and it does have the best value for your buck. Volvo is gonna shine with this subsidiary, excited about the future.
Now we shall sell the X4 M40i today... Such a shame, such a fun car, but too much money and it ain't an EV.
