I've always loved the Sienna, and looks has never, is still not the problem. It's the new drivetrain. You just can't put a 2.4L engine and expect people who come from the 3.5L to even remotely enjoy driving it

Don't get me started on Toyota going all in on 4-cylinder engines. I'm currently trying to convince a family member not to buy a new Highlander for this very reason. They need a larger SUV and honestly there is no EV version of this on the market, not one that is designed for utility above most other things.

Lucid Gravity is supposed to be an SUV.

Unfortunately Highlander is going to be their best option for SUV space. Or they can find a 2021 or 2022 that still had the 3.5L. I would go with used

ID buzz still too new to get the good deals, but EV9s have pretty aggressive lease deals. Wind AWDs in my area going for $439 a month for 36 months or $369 for 24 months. But $4.8K due at signing + only 10K miles per year

The miles are the biggest problem for us. My wife mostly uses the Ioniq 5 for work and grocery shopping, and is already hitting 18k with Max 20k, and is not due to be turned in until July. Our Y which is our family car is already at 29,440 in two years. Polestar I had to dish out $1600 in overage

ID. Buzz is horrible value and range is bad. Plus the styling is way too look at me for this persons tastes. I'll try and get her to look at the Kia.
...well the Kia comes to $80,000 before dealer shenanigans. Geeze.
