If you're a mom, would you drive this luxury SUV?

[Anonymous]

I think the gray and blue ones aren't too manly for a soccer mom. I don't love the full-size spare tire attached to the hatch (even though it's nice there's a spare tire at all since many cars now come without one). You might find the back hatch annoying to open because of that giant wheel on it.

Have you ever driven a large SUV? I got a Subaru Ascent a couple years ago (which is smaller than your future EV) and was annoyed by how hard it is to turn into a parking space. It's harder to park than a minivan and I frequently have to make multiple moves back and forth to squeeze the SUV into that spot. I plan to move to something smaller in a couple of years specifically because I hate parking the thing.

I like the Rivian SUV a lot better.

yes, but only if you get it in White

Where do you drive that you need such a monster truck? Are you offroading through deep mud?

It seems like complete overkill for a family vehicle in the city.

Too big for driving in metropolitan area, dangerous for kids and other pedestrians given it’s height and width. Annoying for you (and to others) to park or squeeze down narrower roads.

Haha, no, he has his own SUV with a car allowance. He gets an amazing lease deal through his job. I also already currently drive a big SUV and it's lease is almost up.

Why would you lease a $100,000 that you think is ugly? I do not understand.

That is the color I'm leaning towards, in this spec. The rear end is still so ugly to me.

Great lease deal through my husband's employer. It's leasing more like a $50K SUV. It's less expensive to lease than the $70K SUV I'm currently driving.

Sure. But a 2025 Rivian R1S with similar specs is 2x the lease payment.

Who cares? It is super ugly.

No, I would not drive that. I do not want to ascend stairs into my car. I don't feel safe walking around those things and would be terrified of hitting someone/something small that I couldn't see due to being like 6' off the ground.

I don't mind SUVs, but the huge off-the-ground feel of this kind and the same type of truck just feel very industrial to me and I don't like them as passenger vehicles. None of y'all are hauling freight.

I'd rather have a Rivian if I needed an electric SUV. A neighbor has one and I like it a lot.

It is a new version of a Hummer. It's a GMC Hummer EV SUV. There is also a pickup truck version.

You sure? There have been some good lease rates on Rivians lately (get a Rivian over this monstrosity)
