I might be late to the game on this but did anyone else know they were developed together and that they’re pretty much identical cars? I went to the LA Auto Show this past weekend and after finding out, I compared them back to back and they are indeed the exact same car (except for the front end, mainly the “grill” and headlights). Plus the Subaru comes standard with AWD. But even the interior design is the same.
Yes, this is known well around these forums. Similarly, they are hated on these forums because they don’t come anywhere near their advertised charging rate and are one of the slowest charging EVs out there.
Combined with the car-may-catch-fire recall, and people don’t like them here.
There are a handful of users here who have them and love them. I do not have one, but have considered, as Subaru in particular is pushing them off the lots at a significantly below MSRP price point, whereas Kias and Ioniqs have the worst dealership experience imaginable for me so far.
But no first hand opinion. Just hopefully this contextualizes your thoughts.
