Doubt.
Just checked it and if I got the right model, 0-100 is between 7.2 and 8 seconds, depending on the model year. Mid range EV SUVs such as the Enyaq are between 5.5 and 8.7 seconds, so way below the outback if you don't pick the low end version. Performance-centric EVs are below 4 seconds. And they all have a more or less constant torque which just isn't possible for ICEs.
If you like your car that's fine. But combustion engines aren't even close to how EVs drive.
That's firmly in Ford Escape territory🤣
The h6 is only fast if you just got out of the h4
"Fast" is always relative.
So slower by 0.7 sec? Unless only you are allowed to cherry pick from the data.
Okay then pick a performance ICE SUV to compare to and not a Subaru Outback.
This isnt the 1950s. Most vehicles have very flat torque curves when they're in the power and high gear counts in their auto transmissions to provide this, as well.
If you like EVs that's fine but the driving dynamics of EVs and ICEs is basically the same when actually in use.
The Subaru is specifically the rare higher performance engine, so comparing them to the higher performance versions of comparable EVs would be the only fair thing to do.
Absolutely not, but hey, whatever you want to believe that makes you happy.
