Can’t actually think of many hybrid full size SUV’s. Maybe a newer diesel Tahoe/suburban?

New Sequoia will be hybrid.

Fuel mileage still ain’t great though.

Same 17/22 the LX 600 is at?

 

[Hisma]

ur an engineer

do a 2020 Tahoe > Tesla conversion

Sounds super simple

If the new BMW EV suv wasn't such an abomination on the exterior I'd probably pre order one.
Wife said she might try to hold out for the rivian. She's wfh so we can get by with one car for a while. But I think it's going to get harder come winter when it's not as easy to bike / walk to get around.

Same engine as the new Tundra Hybrid, so 20/24 in 2WD, 19/22 in 4x4.

Minivan

There just really isn't a good option out and most SUVs are less practical minivans

First to market large SUV will be the Lotus Eletre which will be entirely Chinese so who knows how nice it'll actually be

yeah I showed the pacifica to the wife and unfortunately it was "no go" because she doesn't want to drive a minivan. She could also do a midsized SUV, but for EVs it's mainly just cross-overs at the moment. And the thinking is if we are gonna compromise on a non-EV, we'd prefer to go for full-size.
2023 needs to get here already.

 

[Menger]

just get some cheap pizza chit until the Rivian is ready

 

[Menger]

is it really full size either tho? probably no bigger than the Grand Cherokee 4xe

 

[JohnnyBeagle]

yeah I showed the pacifica to the wife and unfortunately it was "no go" because she doesn't want to drive a minivan. Form matters just as much as function for her

For most people, which is why the SUV market exists lol

Is the iX big enough for y'all?

Rivian is Tacoma sized

Rivian is Tacoma sized

exactly - the the R1S or whatever the fuck it is called will probably be smaller than a 4Runner

If I didn’t want the towing capability, I’d definitely get the GC 4xe, not sure there’s a nicer SUV for $60K available.

Still bigger than all the cross-over EVs currently on the market. See my post above on my rationale

 

[Menger]

looks like the size of a Tiguan

That almost looks GC size.

yeah but it's fugly and at the tip top of our budget

ya

but this is why the Grand Cherokee 4xe is the answer to your question

if you can fit in the Rivian, you can fit in it
