Looks good, but I’ll believe it when I see reviews lol

I considered it a lot myself last year, and earlier this year, but I was more interested in the C40 (more for style, I didn’t mind the loss in space). I ultimately chose something else because the range wasn’t remotely best-in-class and I wasn’t comfortable with what could end up being a very expensive car (service-wide) in 5 years, and I felt like it would just feel outdated over a long period of time (especially since Volvo has more EV’s coming that feel more fresh and compelling).

They are fantastic vehicles, but to me they just aren’t the best option in their category or price range.

Apparently I stepped on some UK land mine about liking the experience of driving a Juke lol.

Do people really dislike it that much over there? What’s the reason?

It’s not even the exterior I love (although I don’t mind it), the car just felt great to drive on those smaller roads. It was a joy.

I’m sure I’d get the same king of feeling if I drove a Mini or something else with a smaller form, I’ve mostly driven SUV’s and the occasional sedan (including my Ioniq 6). It was just way more fun and satisfying to drive than I expected.

An electric Juke would be fucking siiiiiiick.

I rented one in the UK for a few days and it was amazing for all the roads we had to hit outside Bath and through the countryside. An EV version of that would be hugely appealing to me.

I agree about charging infrastructure and speed, but I don’t think we’ll see even 500km+ range be affordable for quite a while, but I also don’t think it’s going to really be the difference-maker.

To me, there will be a tipping point when people can more reliably charge, and charge faster, on a weekly basis so people who can’t charge at home will be able to justify going electric. I can see most families as well having one ICE and one EV, since they might need the ICE to have a better experience on road trips.
