Actually, the Telli was the top rated CUV for initial quality in 2025. That is the old version obviously.

This might be the winner folks…

If it had the PHEV at launch it would be, but sadly that is a couple years away

Have you seen the interior? Not a single physical button, everything is controlled by the touchpad, it would infuriate me and I would feel completely humiliated if I had to drive something like this.

Didn't you say, just a couple of days ago that you would (most likely) go with a new Range Rover?

RRs though, have a long-standing reputation for unreliability and being in the shop. VWs are still no Lexus when it comes to reliability, but, in general, rank a couple of notches above RR....and, of course, except for the long-discontinued W12 Phaeton, don't cost six-figures.
