    Very true. Nothing says "I've got a real outdated car" - then buying a car with some gigantic outstanding features to remind you when it became passe.

    Speaking of grills, isn't this the UX EV they sell in Europe and China?

    No. But the UX is based on the CH-R (hybrid and gas). Didn't the UX get something stupidly low like 200 miles on the WLTP?

    It got an update in 2023 that included a battery listed 0.1kW different than announced for this C-HR. The power and range of the UX is lower. I'm guessing it didn't get upgraded power electronic and motor.

    Now see Europe is getting the C-HR EV. The UX will likely get the drive train upgrades with the redesign, which it is due for.
