Closer to the VW Golf Country.

Tesla might have better optimisation in manufaturing and chasis-motor design. But rivian makes better looking better feeling cars.

Hatchback looks like another hatchback? Yeah who would have possibly guessed

I’m really digging that R3X for sure!!

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a much better interpretation of the Delta than that Rivian, IMO.

Holy shit, that’s a damn fine silhouette. Handsome as hell.
Shame about the front face, wheels & labor exploitation / repeat OSHA violations.

Was thinking more Lada Niva

Maybe it’s because I’m from Europe, but this is a pretty common hatchback shape imo. Quite a few 1980s and 1990s hatchbacks had this shape, especially the French ones.
It looks nice, I get it, but didn’t immediately trigger “Lancia Delta” vibes with me. It reminds me more of a rugged version of the Honda E for example.
I prefer the regular R3 by the way. The R3X feels needlessly complicated.

The car looks very similar to Maruti’s SS80 1983-1986 edition launched in India. I think it was also launched as the Alto in UK markets.

It boggles my mind that all car manufacturers have to do to make a good looking vehicle is copy their old work.

Maybe it’s because I was a kid in the 80’s but I really dig that car. I mean that’s light years cooler than any Tesla to me.
God DAMN that’s a cool looking car. That might be the only EV I’d consider buying besides the Karma Revero
I like it.
Has Lada Niva vibes, but that’s not a bad thing
Its very [Volkswagen Golf Country](https://www.autoclassmagazine.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Volkswagen-Golf-Country-Auto-Class-Magazine-_002.jpg) as well.
Okay, someone help me out. What car is on top?
Looks more like a 2003 Fiat Panda to me. I’d still drive it!!
dads gonna spend some money
Large wheels on small bodies is sexy design 101
Seriously, it’s the best design since Alfa Giulia. This transparent c-pillar + d-pillar swoosh 🫠
You have to look at the front, looks like 💩
Looks like a Yugo
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks more Delta-esque to me
The slope of the rear is giving me AMC Gremlin vibes. I like it.
It looks fucking sick is what it looks!!
I think I’ve found my next car.
It also has a lot of Mk2 Golf Country vibes.
Too bad it will be 70k
No’nt you dare
Sick, if only they made those pill headlights round it’d be over
[removed]
It’s a big dodge omni
Kinda misleading.
The R3X is going to be the size of an Audi Q3.
Holy shit the R3X is real? I knew they were going to be revealing some stuff today, but not this. It looks sick as hell.
It’s giving [Lada Niva](https://www.carsized.com/en/cars/lada-4×4-1995-3-door-offroader/) vibes
