The issue with the P2 for me is rear seat room. Its not as good for families so going the Ioniq 5 route for me. Polestar 3 can't come fast enough
That's true, it will fit 2 normal sized adults in the back, 3 is stretching it for sure. I was able to get 3 girls back there (my daughter, my wife and her niece) but they are smaller framed
i've been driving my Model 3 for almost 4 years, looking for a change next year. i will be getting another EV or a plug-in hybrid with budget max out at around $60k. I probably not going back to Tesla because of their price increase. not a fan of korean automakers, i know they're the hottest thing right now, but i'll stick with Japanese, American or German brands for now, what are my choices? so far i can only think of the following.
Ford Mustang Mach E
Toyota bZ4X Rav 4 Prime
Ford F150 Lightening base model
BMW 330e
Audi Q4 etron

Unless you e already got reservations for the F150, you're not going to get one in next few years. I would also add Lexus RZ and i4 to that list. Those are the only ones I would consider right now if I had to buy
The NEW XC60 T8 (PHEV) has increased HP to 455 and torque to 523.
Pure electric range increases to about 35 miles (up from 19)
The electric motor that powers the rear is up from 87 HP to 143.
It also now employs one pedal driving like the full electric vehicles.
Starts around 56k but fully loaded close to 73k.
Also, still qualifies for $7500 tax credit.
Almost forgot, it also gets the new google automotive found in Polestar.
I read if route is in the navigation, the battery use is apportioned over the entire trip which is nice.
It's really not that lifted. The big oversized tires give it that appearance. It's not low to the ground like a Model 3 or my IS350, but it's also not that high off the ground, in fact if I put the seat too high I would hit my head getting in and out, and I'm really not that tall
For some reason in pictures it just looks raised to me and would be a real looker if it was lowered a bit.

Way over the OPs budget of $60k so those are out of the question.

It has blacked out plastic on the fenders and bottom making it look more raised than it really is. Don't get me wrong, this is no lowered sedan. They have given it some space to allow additional suspension travel, but there is really not a lot of space underneath, only a very small person would be able to crawl under the chassis. I can barely stick my head under there
This pic shows the cladding painted.
This car, however, may be lowered a bit, but the black cladding gives it a ‘higher’ appearance overall.
Exactly. If someone wants to lower it, a good set of lowering springs will do the trick. I personally would not mess with suspension setup though, I like the extra travel, it really helps on uneven pavement
Meh the mid section still looks too tall to me. The BMW i4 has the same issue to a lesser extent. It's just a natural consequence of having to deal with the batteries in the floor and is hidden much more successfully in SUVs.
