Why an SUV, what does every company have against electric sedans?
I say this as a sedan EV driver, but they make more SUVs because customers buy more SUVs.
Tesla Model Y Seeing Twice As Many Sales As Tesla Model 3 — How Will This Change?
I was in the market for a new electric car earlier this year, but ended up going with a gas because of how few choices there were in the lower end. There were plenty of luxury electric cars, but when it came to the $20ks range, the only options were companies notorious for bad build quality and frequent recalls like Hyundai.
None of the reputable companies like Honda, Toyota, Mazda, etc., had any electric sedans at all in 2023.
Japanese auto companies have been lagging far behind on EVs. The one exception is Nissan with the Leaf at $28k+.
Even extending to SUVs or crossovers from Japanese auto companies it only adds a couple and some are horrible compliance cars like the Mazda MX-30 which was horribly high priced, and pathetic range.
It helps that the model Y has a trunk that’s actually accessible versus 3. I would much prefer a practical sedan or wagon but there is not much choice besides the Model S (which lacked a tow hook until recently) and the EQE/EQS (for which the styling requires some getting used to).
