I have an Ioniq 5 reservation, and Hyundai finally reached out to me to share some online video tours coming up, and ask about my order details. But my response was that I can't confirm trim level without a spec sheet and prices. They answered that they understood, and that could be finalized later. Based on rumors and such, I think the lowest trim level will start around 47-49k. Not sure if they will have option packages, or just three trims. *IF* I do order it, it would almost have to be the bottom trim. My wife prefers the look of the Etron Q4 - which i agree, looks nice - and rumor is that the bottom trim for it will start at 45k. But Audi tends to love option packages, so until I can see the prices and specs sheets, hard to compare. If I'm right, the Q4 could start cheaper than the Ioniq 5. T.B.D.
At least in the UK, the bottom trim isn't offered with AWD (or the big pack, but we know that'll be the only one on offer here), only the middle and top trims. I forget, but (given your Outback) didn't you want that?
The current plan is to slowly upgrade our EV, but keep the outback. Someday when the EV can be be a one size fits all and truly replace our Outback, then maybe. Since we are a two vehicle family anyway, it works. Plus my son will be learning to drive in a few years, so having the older outback is probably a good idea.
The Outback is still required to reach a lot of destinations in our area that my Leaf simply cannot. I'm hoping that each time we move to a new EV it expands the areas we can reach. Certainly this next upgrade - whether a Chevy Bolt EUV, or Ioniq 5 or Q4 or ??? will expand my reach quite a bit.
