Assign 5 points to the only one you like, then give each point to a like, minus 1 point to a dislike, see what you will get .  Decision should be  the one gets the highest scores.

But before you buy, ask your wife, just buy what she likes.

Because they sat inside the whole while as the EV was parked there, refusing to leave, until the wife called warning of a lock out mah. 

How to look back at the car after parked when you are in it.

I saw a parked Aion V owner sleeping in the car at a shopping mall carpark. Maybe the wife goes shopping then he recharge himself.

It's a feature. If you are parked between 12-1pm the car will usually ask if you want to take a nap. And if you agree, it will recline the seats and play sleep inducing ambient sounds.
