Off the top of my head: Leather seats, AC, scheduled preheating, cruise control, modem and wifi, loads of 12V and USB outlets throughout the interior, sun roof, seats that all have more adjustment points than I have joints, HUD, steering wheel heating, automatic high beam dimming, lane assist that actually works, good sound, ability to save and recall presets for seat and mirror adjustments, 360 degree camera view, Bluetooth that isn’t a PITA to use,
And most surprisingly: An app that is actually useful - it let’s me remote start and lock/unlock the car as well as upload navigation destinations to the infotainment system. And it notifies me if I forget to lock my car (which I now have started caring about for the first time in 20 years). It also automatically logs trips with addresses, making it convenient for when I need to file an expense claim for work.
Antenna on the roof is better than an antenna in my pocket. And now my kids can autoconnect their phones and tablets without me having to activate a Hotspot. And cellular data is pretty cheap here anyway.
Sounds good! What creature comforts does it have?

Nice. I bet that was like night and day. I was considering the EX30 for my last purchase but ultimately went with the VW ID.4.
Why would you need a modem and WiFi in a car? I bet it uses cellular data anyway so why not use it directly?

Omg please drive me places. I’ll literally go anywhere if I get to be driven in that car 😍
