GM's stylish electric crossover delivers genuinely fun acceleration, a roomy cabin, and smooth highway manners, but the 2024 launch was a mess of software bugs and quality hiccups that sent early adopters back to dealers repeatedly. By 2025 most gremlins were squashed, leaving a handsome EV that undercuts the Cadillac Lyriq by $15k while sharing its platform. The tradeoffs: it charges slower than the Hyundai/Kia twins, locks you into Google's infotainment with no CarPlay escape, and a troubling number of owners report coolant leaks on vehicles barely a year old. Steep used-market discounts make lightly used 2025+ models tempting if you can live without CarPlay and don't mind the charging speed penalty. Skip any 2024 unless the price is irresistible and you enjoy surprise service appointments.
This GM Ultium-based EV wears a Honda badge but carries the baggage of an abandoned product line. When it works, it's a spacious, comfortable cruiser that glides quietly and charges fast enough for road trips, many owners rack up 20k+ miles without drama beyond a CV axle click that dealers won't fix. The catch: Honda pulled the plug on EVs in early 2025, leaving buyers with one EV tech per dealership and no future updates. A vocal minority report high-voltage system failures that strand the car for weeks, plus software that got buggier after the recall fix. Lease deals are killer ($300, $400/month), making it a solid short-term bet if you can tolerate orphan-product risk. Long-term buyers should consider the Blazer EV or Ioniq 5 instead, same platform or better tech, with manufacturers still committed to the segment.
