I've got no need or interest in a dual cab, but we've got a BYD Seal and love it.
Chinese manufacturers are kicking arse, and making the usual brands look antiquated and overpriced.

byd seal looks amazing, the only thing I'm not sure on is the infotainment system, but I'm hoping by 2030 when I get my next EV the tech will have come along quite nicely
I use Android Auto so the "infotainment" system is pretty much just a screen for Android Auto to me. I'm sure it works fine under there though.

I've tried this to good effect before when I got my current motorbike helmet headset - the voice commands on default settings worked much better when hamming it up with an American accent like one was trying to audition for a part in a Western.

I do this already with American accents and Google
