A bit pricey for a SM 201 HP vehicle






Although it looks roomy

 

Same with my Ody Honestly, if they sold it with sliding doors, it would be a great minivan replacement. It's also very easy to get into and out of especially compared to my Rivian.

Pricing might not be that competitive vs. ICE cars in its segment, but in the 3 row EV SUV segment it's very impressive. Lowest trim R1S starts at $75K with the standard range battery that'll go ~270 miles. It does give you 533 HP though

 

Looks really good in this color. Adding it to list of potential candidates

 

i'm sure there will be an electric Carnival at some point.

 

 

Actually just finished watching this. High praise for the ride quality and fit/finish. Not enough range in that top spec IMO. But itll look cool while you're always charging it though. Lol

 

I rode in one today for about 45 minutes. Believe it or not, it was a livery cab in NYC. The owner has had it for 2 weeks and loves it. I can say, it is extremely smooth and ultra quiet. Very impressive. The 3rd row is tighter than i expected, but plenty of room in the 2nd row. I really enjoyed my short time in it today.

 

Another review . . . this will definitely be an option when I turn in my Polestar2

 

I just don't like the look of these. Both this and the Ioniq 5 remind me in certain ways of a Kia Soul. I like the interior quite a bit, but I can't get beyond the exterior.

 

I like the way they look personally, but at it's price point, and having to deal with a dealership, I would pay a little more and get a Model X with the 7 seat option

 

lol, ioniq 5 looks absolutely nothing like a kia soul.

now the ev9, i do see a resemblance to kia soul.

 

i hear they're selling but i've not seen one on the road.

 

Thats a downgrade from an EV9.

 

My wife and I had one as our Uber back from the airport after our last trip to see our grandson. It's a very nice vehicle to be driven in - quiet, comfortable, smooth, well-built, no rattles etc. Didn't see too much of the tech, but what I saw looked pretty good and while we didn't have any opportunity to test if it had sufficient power, it absolutely held its own while on the freeway home. Plenty of room, this would work really well as a family vehicle.

Verdict: Experienced one as a passenger only, but as passengers we liked it a lot. May well be on the list for the grandparent-mobile, along with the ID.Buzz.

 

I agree, I've change my mind since I wrote that. I took a second look at the Model X, and the falcon wings are a no go for me. I don't care about the luxury, Model X is comfortable, but its unnecessarily heavy...due the falcon wings. The only thing keeping me away from EV9 is still having to deal with a dealership
