Hey
@voon,
@Rkanaga,
@KiaevCan @swaq @Waynerm002 since the lack of these seats seems to be a deal breaker, what other vehicles is everyone here considering other than the EV6?
Well I'm in the market for the regular EV6 and not the EV6 GT so whatever seats Kia equips the GT will have no effect on my decision.
I can understand why the GT would have manual seats with its more aggressive bucket seat option (saves weight, faster to change position if you're swapping drivers on the track etc).
As for other cars, the ID.4 was on the list but when it was released, it was a bit too mainstream for me - great for first time EV buyers (of which, I'm technically one even though I've been driving hybrids and PHEVs for more than 15 years). The EV6 is something different - sporty, well equipped and techy; also, technically not an SUV but a crossover. I've never had an SUV before, preferring cars, so the fact that the early drives of the EV6 seem positive, is a good sign.
The Mach-E isn't on my list but it was in the periphery. Range and style is good in my eyes but it's inefficient and some reviews of the charging curve has me thinking twice.
The last one is a yet-to-be-released ID Space Vizzion - space, comfort, long range (even before the more recent announcement to bump the target WLTP range up to 700km. The original annoucement at the 2019 LA Auto Show was somewhere in the 500+ WLTP range or EPA 480km/300 miles)
