I passed on the EUV bc I didn't need the extra space, or care about the sunroof, and I wanted the higher range/eff.

I also have a L2 already.

In my reading, the EUV is stretched 3 inches, with the rear row being 4" deeper, and the cargo area being 1" less deep. And they put a little dinky 'hood' on the front, that I don't prefer appearance-wise. Since the EV rear row also has plenty of space for my (small) teens, there was no point.

Keep in mind that GM is saying they will give $6k rebates on all new '22's sold. So take that from MSRP.

 

Yes, I do the discounts in my head. I use the MSRP to compare car to car. I won't get a sunroof. Money wasted. I guess I'm going to have to keep after the EV's or just give up and order one and wait forever.

 

I would really suggest you not decide on one or the other without testing them. Many people think they are the same car with different dimensions. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The cars are built on the same platform, but are engineered to drive differently. (Suspension damping, torsion/sway control, noise damping, steering ratios, throttle mapping, sound deadening, glass insulation, door and window sealing, center of gravity, wheelbase - just to mention a few things that markedly change the way a car feels.)

Many automotive platforms are used for different vehicles in a manufacturer's line. Take the A platform from VW. It is used for the VW Golf and Tiguan small SUV. They do not feel the same to drive. Much like the Bolt EV and EUV. If you are in the market for either of them, please give yourself a nice present and go drive a late model EV vs. an EUV to at least feel what I am trying to explain here. You will not be sorry you spent the time doing so. As an owner of both, I can tell you first hand - their driving personalities are very different.

It's hard to get a proper feel for these in a short test drive. Since you have both, what are your impressions of the difference in driving personalities?

 

I am going from the EV to EUV because I wanted the more comfortable ride and adaptative cruise control. I also wanted the extra rear space for the baby seat.

 

I got an EUV back in August because EVs were hard to come by. I’ve only driven an EV once, so I can’t really compare the two. But I can tell you that my Regret-O-Meter is sitting right at 0.0.

 

....Finding an EV is a major challenge though. ....

So long story long, anything I don't know enough yet to know I should check into EUV vs EV?

Some of your comments are about 'Style'.
Here's my few takes: You're not shopping for women's shoes. You can't see the outside of the car when you drive it, etc, etc. I look at specs first and foremost.

IF I were shopping to replace my Bolt the EUV with Super Cruise is up there on the list.
Actually driving your car on the interstate is for Chumps.
Who wouldn't enjoy 'Hands Free' driving? Again, Super Cruise is the only one!

But to be honest, the Bolt's DCFC performance would have me looking at other options. Hate to say that here....
I need a car that can do Road Trips! The Bolt can do that, just slower than newer EV's...

 

The Super Cruise is a feature I wish my 2020 Bolt EV had, as well as a full battery. I still owe $22K on the car valued by KBB at $28K. A fully featured EUV is listed at $37K after the $6300 discount. I figure buying the EUV would add at least $3K to my balance.

 

I Don't get the super cruse thing. I want to drive my car. I even turn off The lane keep assist because it annoys me if the lanes aren't just right.

 

To each his own.
Do you also shun the cruise control and keep you right foot and brain working the entire time you're cruising on the highway? One slip and you could get a speeding ticket.

I like modern technology!

 

I had the EV and now have the EUV. I didn't like losing 12 miles of max range (from 259 to 247). But everything else is better from my POV. The rear leg-room on the EV was very tight for most adults. The EUV has considerably more. The add'l length also give you more room with the seats down for a hardware store run, and for my ski's/snowboard in the winter. The ride is smoother and yet it still handles well. Ride height specs are similar but it seems a little higher (both ground clearance and seating position). Closing the doors results in a more solid "thunk" vs the EV. I prefer the rear liftgate and inside/outside handles to open/close it. Definitely has a more generic "small SUV" look to it. Kinda looks like the prior generation RAV4. But looks OK to me and more conservative but less nerdy vs the EV.

definitely notice the difference in seat comfort on my 50 mile round trip. 100 a day. Especially on the ride home. Had the EV for a year. It really hurt the wife with a bad back on the 240 mile ride to get the EUV.
short test drive you may not notice.
Is the better seat necessary for me? No but for the wife it is
Anybody want my heated seats?
Still trying to figure out what useful purpose the crargo net serves, that’s only clipped from the top. It can’t net anything like that.
Msybe it’s a decoration. Oh, just searched it. it’s for putting dirty shoes in so they don’t smell up that cover. The cover was not in the 21 EV

 

I chose the EUV for one specific option: the ventilated seats. I had them in my Niro, and really, really like them. The Bolt seats don't cool quite as well, but still noticeable and welcome. And I don't even live where it gets super warm.
