When I bought my 2025 BMW i4 M50 it was voted the second best non-Tesla EV you could buy in North America. Number one was the Ioniq 5n. I think it has more going for it than it’s crossoverness.
It’s been two years and I read/watched a fuckton of reviews. I believe it was Autoweek that did their rankings, but it might have been Road & Track. I could look it up again, but I’m not that curious. Good luck on your search.
That makes no sense. Sales figures do not measure only quality and performance, they also take into account affordability, marketing, dealership distribution, etc… The car enthusiast outlets tend.to focus only on the car.
If you want to buy the most popular car, look at sales figures. If you want to buy the best car, look at expert reviews.
No. I replied to the comment insinuating that the ioniq5 sold well because it is a crossover by noting that it was voted to be the best non-tesla EV in North America (for model year 2025). People bought it because it was good, not just because it was a crossover.
You’re ignoring the fact that the Ioniq 6 did not sell well, despite having even better affordability, and exactly the same “marketing, dealership distribution, etc.”. It is ALSO good (in fact it’s nearly exactly the same thing in sedan form factor) but people are not buying them.
Remember the list I noted about the best non-tesla EVs. Remember that I started by stating that the BMW was second to the ioniq5? I think the ioniq6 was somewhere on the lists Inwas looking at when shopping for an EV, but it definitely was nowhere near the top. It was getting beat by Polestar.
You misunderstood my original comment and your are starting to downvote and get bent out of shape about it, so I’m moving on.

Voted by whom?

Yeah so, basically car enthusiasts, and more specifically not consumers.
If you want to see what consumers think, look at the sales figures.

It makes perfect sense when you realize that the comment you replied to was about popular cars, and not good ones.
