The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N wowed the cartubers crowd back in 2024/25 because it simulated a lot of the driving feel of gas cars.

Maybe keep an eye on Hyundai.

Edit: although I don't think they have simulated stick shifting

They were doing paddle shifters in the Ioniq. Toyota was working on a car with a six speed shifter and a clutch. I don’t even care if it’s simulated shifting, I’d still get one.

This article is from 2023, but it has more info on it. The manual transmission from Toyota is expected to go to production this year I think.

I don't know why they turned their station wagon into a sports EV, and then waited like 3 years to do it with their sedan.
