I really like most everything about this car. It’s really nice. Unfortunately every external shot seems to show wobbly, bouncy ride. Also 102kw is an improvement but I would like better. But she said $9k less than the I5, and that’s nice.
I think we’ve reached the tipping point. Prices are dropping and sales continue to increase.
While I don’t think 500 or even 400 miles of range will be the standard for a while, I agree that by 25 or 26 there will be no argument left for ice.
I haven’t driven either. Though now that I drive an ev, all shift points bother me and clunky ones really bother me.
Just the shifting and crazy difference in acceleration would make the ev worth the price premium for me.
Thanks for the link. Very cool!
I was really surprised at how many were less that the ice version before the rebates. BMW and Porsche were within 4% across the lineup, with many costing less.
Also some have come down in price. The id4 pro and pro s are listed as $4k over the current price and don’t include the rebate. Depending what state you’re in they might cost less and they were among the worst price difference offenders.
Also some are a roughly comparable vehicles, but also not. The ioniq 5 was pared with the Tucson, which is a good fit for size. But, one has smooth acceleration and a 0-60 of 4.4s and the other is clunky ice and 8-13 seconds to 60!
If you are getting a car with a loan, then there is almost no difference. Particularly now that a m3 is cheaper than a Camry and a my is cheaper than a rav4.
It looks like they use 10-80 and then normalize to the 100 mile figure. Giving only 15 min of charge rewards the cars who have a fast charge for a portion of the curve, particularly early on. This may be why ford does well, they allow much faster charging for a short time. Whereas an Audi etron has a nearly flat curve. Based on max charge rate it looks middle of the pack, but few can match it for 10-80.
