Actually really like what I see of the EX30 but not seeing anything about the us tax credits for it. The dual motor runs up the price to 45k ish, but would be a steal for 40k.
There is no tax credit as the car is made in China. The fact it is still so "cheap" even with a 27.5% import tax is impressive.
It will be made in Belgium after 2025, at least the european ones.
Incredibly impressive even, we need more of this. Looking at some reviews, the biggest things anyone has to harp on is the all touchscreen interface for everything(understandably), and that the performance version just feels like it's got too much power for how it handles.
All in all, that's a pretty good endorsement for the average driver if youre ok with all touch controls.
That sounds so fun! Now you made me want to buy the car. Gosh dang it.
But, um, wouldn't you want a car that can handle the power it has?
As someone who is a car enthusiast, I like fun cars the best. Having an overwhelming amount of power can teach you how to control the car when traction is lost. Ever wondered why people buy hellcats?
