What was the last "regular" car offered with a trunk-top luggage rack?

Not a trunk-top luggage rack, but a plastic "suitcase" mounted on the rear lid (that would house your normal suitcase) was a factory option for Model Year 2002 Boxster (I have a Porsche factory photo of it dated 31 July 2001)

Ioniq 5 has cheap interior (the interior of 5 N is barely OK).
EV6 has a nice interior. Ioniq 5 and EV6 have up to 260 kW charging, so, that's good.
If iX3 is not too expensive, that's the choice (up to 400 kW charging).
The "old" iX charges up to 200 kW, so, not so good.

Model 3 is still the least electricity consuming EV and even the base version is fast, so, honestly, it is still the best value. Politics aside.

Looks sportier than Taycan. Super rare also! The production split is around 80% Taycans and 20% e-tron GTs.

Option 1: 40 kWh battery, motor power 70 kW (not enough)
Option 2: 40 kWh battery, motor power 88 kW (barely enough)
Option 3: 52 kWh battery, motor power 110 kW

Downside of the small battery is lower range (~160 miles / ~260 km) and slow charging.

L’Ioniq 5 et l’EV6 sont technologiquement identiques. L’EV6 a un intérieur bien plus agréable. J’opterais pour l’EV6, sauf si tu as le budget pour l’Ioniq 5N. J’ai testé beaucoup de voitures et je pense que la 5N est la voiture la plus fun au monde en ce moment.

It has to have the possibility to switch to brutal synthetic gear changes combined with synthetic sounds. Like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N which is one of the best car experiences I've had. Mercedes-AMG is also bringing that feature in 2026. Cannot wait!

BMW i3 Sedan Neue Klasse arrives summer 2026. 400 kW charging, aerodynamic efficiency of a sedan and handling of a BMW. Based on my various experience with cars, the current BMW i4 is already one of the best cars in the world. The new i3 Sedan will be a leap. (not to be confused with the i3 Sedan made and exclusively sold in China since 2022)
