What’s available in the EV SUV/CUV space that’s actually better than my 2021 First Edition?

Money is no option, but it does have to meet the following minimum criteria…
1. At least 250 miles highway range.
2. 0-60 in under 5 seconds.
3. Some form of hands-free driving, at least on the highways.
4. SUV/CUV
5. Not look like ass. Yes, I know this is subjective to a point, but we all know the Model Y is a frumpy bubble, etc. I’m disqualifying anything with a bubble or wedge-shaped profile or with a stubby front end.

This is not rhetorical. I am not a car guy. I honestly can’t come up with something clearly better to upgrade to, even if I did have the money. I’d be interested in your opinions. What’s the dream car?

Maybe the Rivian R1S?

Audi SQ6 e-tron or Porsche Macan EV. Acura ZDX Type S, which is a better looking and better packaged Lyriq. Rivian R1S is a bit large for me, as is the Lucid Gravity. I sort of like but don’t love some of the EV Cadillacs. Maybe the Optiq-V?

Hopefully there will be more options by the time my lease is up (if my 2025 ever comes in…). Namely: Rivian R2 and R3, BMW iX3, Lucid midsize SUV, Scout.

Agree with Porsche Macan Turbo EV.
Rivian R1S quad motor maybe top pick for me.
Volvo EX30 performance is intriguing.
Acura specs are disappointing for a Type S badge.
Lyric is fugly.
I had hoped Gravity would be as pretty as Air, but big miss.

I know this is a subjective thing. And, yes I've seen all the reviewers gushing over it......That said, a f--ing 3 row Mom Car? If I had my way, I'd prefer the Lucid Guys would have put all there cool tech and knowledge in something like the Blazer SS. Or the MME for that matter. Something that appeals to us (the MME crowd).......I guess I'm not Lucid's demographic but if that was a two row auto (and I was willing to pay that much); I'd be more interested. But 3 row Mom-Car.......I'll sit that one out.

Although the range is a bit lower. I'm sure if you put all seasons on it the highway range would be better. They did a good job with the customization options. By that, I mean display, and drive modes. I wish the MME had more options like that.

Yeah the Lucid Gravity fails my “doesn’t look like ass” test. It looks like a slimmed down minivan.

What would be nice would be a Lincoln version of the Mustang Mach E GT (sort of like how, in the 1970s) a Thunderbird was a rebadged Lincoln Mark IV.
