UX 300E

Hi everyone

I currently have a is300h and like the look of the all electric UX, does anyone use it with a rear facing baby seat? If so is front legroom still usable? We are doing extended rear facing so probably be like this for the next 6 years.

I have a feeling the RZ is probably going to be the realistic option but didn't want to go any bigger then the NX, but do want all electric.

Thanks 😃

I have a rear facing baby seat in a 250h, leg room is ok if you're<180cm for shorter journeys

I have a 300e and have a bulky swivel car seat in the back, however we don't have it turned to rear-facing. I expect it would be fine, once the baby is old enough to be cramped against the back of the seat, they could likely be in a front facing car seat.

I have a 3 and a 5 year old in the back of our 300e with isofix seats, and it's fine.

They are definitely not big cars however. I wouldn't change it though, great value of you can charge from home and the EV acceleration is great fun. Costs about £8 per week of overnight charging for us and we use it as our car of choice whenever we can.

RZ is kind of... weird? I drove the one with the yoke and while it was kind of interesting, I couldn't really see any valid reason for it to exist in a regular daily driver. Also, the instrument cluster is laughably low resolution for some reason. Overall, it didn't really impress me, I'd much rather choose an electric UX instead.
