Just wondering exactly where the Ocean fits within the definition of a SUV size range or category. Is it a "small" or "medium" sized SUV? What defines "small" versus "medium," or, is it simply in the eye of the beholder? In my mind, I had always sort of placed the Ocean in the "medium" size category. Now, I'm not so sure. Opinions?
As an aside. My wife and I recently went to one of our local KIA dealerships after they called us to come over and take a look at some EV6s that had just arrived last month. We were initially interested in the EV6 because of it's sporty looks, decent range and performance, tech features, charging speeds, available options, etc., etc. However, once we saw it in person, it just looked so small in comparison to our present Nissan Murano SL which has a fairly good rear cargo area. Upon seeing the EV6, my wife and I both came to the same conclusion rather quickly that it would be virtually impossible to take the KIA on vacation with all of our requisite luggage, two sets of golf clubs, the dog and our son. We can barely make it in the Murano now with all the stuff we need/want to take along! The KIA salesman begged us to take a test drive of the EV6 and we declined and left rather disappointed in our experience. Now, I'm beginning to feel nervous that the Ocean's cargo space isn't going to be any more suitable for us than the EV6 would be??? Living in the eastern part of Tennessee (Knoxville) as I do, I doubt that we will ever get an opportunity to see...let alone drive...an Ocean prior to order commitment time. Somebody help...I'm having a sinking feeling! 😕
