I just don't see what everybody thinks is so odd about the D pillars. Yeah they're a little thick...but it doesnt look unusual to me at all

 

Recent crossovers and SUVs have larger, thicker rear roof-pillars for a reason. All else equal, their higher center of gravity makes them more prone to tips or rollovers, and the larger pillars help give more roof-strength. Roof cave-ins are one of the leading causes of injuries/deaths in rollovers....and it is impractical to install roll-bars in SUVs like in convertibles.

 

My only concern is that it portrudes/sticks out too much. Personally, I wish the rear bumper was longer to balance that overly heavy-looking D-Pillar. But it's not a "make or break" I still think overall it looks decent.

 

d-pillar looks fine to me . i like it so much better than the weird designs other makes are doing - lines, pinches, black trim, etc!

 

Early reviews are out. So far the driving impressions are pretty good. Still tight in 2nd and 3rd rows.

 

I'm looking at PHEV, kinda disappointed, I was hoping the range around 50+ miles.

 

THat sounds like a reach to me. I'm not really familiar with PHEV range, but are there any vehicles (car or SUV) that can get close to 50 miles on EV power?

 

I just love they made this rwd

 

RAV4 Prime.

 

Rav4 Prime is advertised at 42 miles of EV range and is a smaller vehicle

 

​​​​​Yeah, and the RAV4 Prime's battery is actually slightly bigger than the CX-90's.

 

The third row in the Redline Review video looked downright claustrophobic. Around 25:50 Sofyan goes into the 3 seat bench in the 3rd row and even kids would be crunched back there. Even in the 2 seat 3rd row his feet barely fit under the 2nd row seats.

 

smaller in every interior dimension to hyundai palisade (and presumably telluride).

palisade https://www.caranddriver.com/hyundai/palisade/specs

other than that, it's pretty nice.

 

And the just released today, Prius Prime has a 44 mile EV range.

Don't think we are there yet for 50 mile PHEV SUV's or sedans just yet.

 

Correct, my apologies.

For some reason, I thought RAV4 Prime got 60+ miles from battery.
