I want to buy an EV as my last car, but can't make up my mind from existing and upcoming models despite testing a few. The Ioniq 5 was too wide to park comfortably between stilts. Being 74, I want to maximise comfort, have full ADAS and preferably captain seats in the second row for long driver-assisted trips. At the same time, it should be suitable for daily runabouts, being the only car since my driving is not much.

The only EV with captain seats is the BYD eMax 7, but since you have the budget of an Ioniq 5, we’d highly recommend considering the BMW iX1. It’s compact enough for city driving, and being narrower than the Ioniq 5, it fits more easily into tight parking bays. The ADAS features, comfortable seats for long drives, and the enjoyable driving experience make it a strong choice. We truly hope your motoring journey continues for many years, and that the BMW iX1 proves to be a rewarding companion.
