Despite its size and weight, the Hyundai is a surprising pleasure to drive, with excellent performance, good traction, and just enough flexibility to keep things interesting. It’s also a beautiful peaceful cruiser, with superb noise suppression, a comfy ride, and a very believable luxury atmosphere that’s ideal for an electric vehicle. Because of the good packing, there is plenty of room in the rear, as well as a usable boot.

Number 2. Kia EV6

Kia has come the closest to delivering genuine driver appeal to the market for useable, reasonably priced, ‘regular’ electric automobiles. It has taken a state-of-the-art electric-specific model platform, clothed it in a handsome body, thrown in a good-sized cabin, and finished the package with keen-feeling ride and handling delivered by a natively rear-wheel drive chassis that feels significantly more interesting and involving to drive than so many EVs have thus far.
The automobile is available in three trim levels and with either a single-motor rear drive or a twin-motor four-wheel drive system. Power outputs vary from 226bhp to 321bhp, with a GT variant with 577bhp on the way shortly (imagine that). Public quick charging at up to 239kW is feasible in the vehicle (where available), at which rate the car’s 77.4kWh battery can be filled up in approximately the time it takes to get a cup of tea and devour an iced bun; while range on the WLTP lab test standard extends up to 328 miles.
The bundle of the EV6 has a few restrictions, one of which is pricing (this isn’t the most economical electric choice among its competitors). Because it’s a touch sporty, it’s not the smoothest-riding, most refined EV on the market; interior quality isn’t quite as rich or welcoming as that of the car’s Hyundai cousin; and lifeless, numb steering takes a little of the edge of the car’s dynamic appeal.
Nonetheless, the EV6 is astonishingly nimble in handling, its performance is energetic (even in single-motor variants), and it provides plenty of heart to eager drivers who had believed that zero-emissions driving just won’t nourish their excitement in the same way that they used to.
