How do you think the Y will handle in comparison to the 3?

I'm certain that the Y will handle better than most other crossovers because of the low weight distribution but how do you think it will handle in comparison to the 3? Will it be very close? or will the ride height and size make hinder its handling capabilities?

Hmmm, isn't the Y intended to be closer to the X than the 3 ? Shouldn't we be comparing it to the X ?

I think the DNA of the 3 will show in the handling. Especially without Air suspension.

I see your point and you may be right. I was thinking more in terms of the size, shape, weight having a bigger effect than air suspension.

The Y is essentially just a tall 3 with a hatch. I would think it’ll handle very much like a 3.

Is the Y going to have more suspension travel? It is going to probably have a raised center of gravity, so the handling may be slightly worse (but still good like all EVs).

EVs weigh too much to be considered great handling cars IMO. But perhaps the Taycan is the exception.

As the X handling compares to the S, the Y will to the 3 I bet. Not quite as tight but more similar than you’d expect given the height difference (because the center of gravity moves up mech less).
