Recommendation for a highly refined car for 2.5M

Original Poster

My priority is steering feel and the car's dynamics. It'll be a family car, occasionally for flooring it on mountain roads and occasionally for track days

The PHEV Tonale could work - 280 hp of power/performance, Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension that can stiffen and soften, and the steering firmness brought by the update. In manual mode the gear shift response lags a bit, but other than that it's quite an enjoyable car. If you can stretch to around 3 million TL, definitely get a Giulia. It's by far one of the most enjoyable cars out there.

I checked out the PHEV Tonale in Sinan abi's video on Otopark.com - the steering feel is bad and the gear shifts are slow. I'm considering the EV6, Ioniq 5, and G20.

As I said, they brought an update to the steering wheel - there's a difference between the steering wheel in that video and the current one. Gear shifts respond late in manual mode, but there's no issue with it in automatic, and since you're considering electric cars anyway, you probably don't care much about manual mode. The G20 is a nice option too. Also, Sinan's reaction was that the steering was bad compared to an "Alfa". Compared to its rivals it actually has quite good steering - I'm saying this as someone who's driven an Ioniq 5.
