Actually at about 182" long (my gauge of how easy a car is to park) it's quite a bit larger, and no doubt heavier, than either the Bolt or Kona. It's a full foot and a half longer! It's about 3" shorter than the Tesla 3. As for price, at an estimated $40k it's in the same general range but it's a somewhat wide range. The Bolt starts at $36,620 (8.5% less) and the Kona is $37,190, and remember these are much smaller cars. Most buyers tend to perceive "larger" as "worth more." Despite what I've read many times here about a mid-30k Model 3, Edmunds list the cheapest model at $44k, so it's 10% more expensive. It's probably a better value, as long as a mid-size sedan suits your needs. I still say we don't need more big, clunky, heavy $40k EVs, we need more agile little $25k ones.
