This is another immensely impressive entry from a brand that can do little wrong of late. As a big family car, it\u2019s compelling: refined, interesting and preposterously spacious. It makes the cookie cutter crossovers that dominate our roads look cramped and unimaginative and makes the brilliant ID. Buzz look wildly overpriced.<\/p>\n

Smooth and silent on the road, it\u2019s a pleasure to drive, more wieldy than you might expect for its size and weight. It\u2019s easy to see out of, undemanding and consumes long journeys with ease and in spectacular comfort. The massage seats are some of the best we\u2019ve ever come across. Irrelevant? Not if you\u2019re a parent. Little luxuries help assuage the squabbling in the back. And in the EX90 little luxuries are everywhere you look.<\/p>\n

Skoda nailed the electric family SUV blueprint with the Enyaq, and this facelifted version is even better. It\u2019s smarter looking than before, goes further than before, and costs around the same as before.<\/p>\n

Kudos, then, to Skoda for not trying to rewrite the rulebook here. It didn\u2019t need to, and the result is a car that remains a smarter buy than the equivalent Volkswagen or Audi \u2013 it drives just as well, the interior is less annoying and more practical, and the price tag is smaller. Yeah, we’re trying to work out what the catch is as well…<\/p>\n

The Polestar 4 is fun and interesting, and has a distinctive design. The interior is lovely, and very roomy. The overall vibe is relaxed, provided you’re not frustrated by elements of the interface. The single-motor version is relaxing to drive too, but you do get a better car for paying extra for the faster version \u2013 which is actually quite unusual in the world of EVs.<\/p>\n

Distinctive yet unlikely to fall off a fashion cliff, rapid in a straight line but not dynamic enough to worry a proper sports car, the EV6 carves a very different path to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 with which it shares bones and blood. And that’s no bad thing. But it’s also spacious, quiet and a very capable cruiser, and equipped with that 800-volt architecture that makes charging station stops quick and painless. It’s one of those cars that makes you think other countries are one step behind compared to what South Korea has to offer.<\/p>\n

The i5 Touring was the first all-electric executive-sized estate to the market and remains the best car in its class. A rear- or dual-motor electric luxe with a 570-litre boot and more technology (and bonkers ambient lighting) than you could learn to operate in a lifetime, it\u2019s refined, comfortable, easy to drive, swift, and almost too well-equipped for its own good.<\/p>\n

We like the A6 e-tron, not least for the fact that it\u2019s not an SUV. How refreshing. Beyond that it fulfils its brief well, carves cleanly through the air and travels a long way between charges. It\u2019s a handsome machine that doesn\u2019t try too hard to be an aero car, is super-smooth and refined and drives much like the big Audi saloons you\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n

We love the Polestar 2 because it\u2019s handsome, the build quality will give Audi drivers PTSD, and there\u2019s a real sense of humility about the car. It\u2019s been designed to work seamlessly, not to wow you with gimmicks then wind you up further down the line. Single Motor iterations make it more accessible for most too.<\/p>\n

Porsche hasn\u2019t dulled the Macan\u2019s sheen with the switch to electric. If you want an incredibly well-rounded daily to deal with everyday life, the Macan stands out. It\u2019s fast, comfortable, well-made and eminently practical – even more so than the ICE versions – and in Turbo form it\u2019ll stay with a serious sportscar.<\/p>\n

The main thrust is really the breadth of ability rather than one big headline; a comfy car in town with enough handling finesse to make it fun on a twisty bit of road. Where other mid-sized electric SUVs run out of ideas, the Macan gets going. It\u2019s not cheap, but an absolutely solid effort from Porsche, and best-in-class.<\/p>\n

The new Renault 4 combines dynamic talent with an admirable amount of suppleness over the UK\u2019s often cratered road network. That\u2019s a hard trick to pull off. And while the design isn\u2019t as purposeful as the R5\u2019s, it\u2019s recognisably different from the waves of generic-looking stuff washing up in dealers all over the country, with marvellous detailing inside and out. If you\u2019re not keen at first, give it time\u2026 it\u2019ll grow on you.<\/p>\n

And there’s goodness in the R4 that goes beyond design: the interior is sublime, the tech is well executed, it\u2019s value for money and (most importantly of all) unfailingly uplifting to drive. Renault has hit another home run with this.<\/p>\n

The Spring\u2019s appeal is that it\u2019s everything that many electric cars aren\u2019t: it\u2019s not over-wrought or heavy-handed, it\u2019s honest and enjoyable and manages to keep the dream of a low impact electric car alive and proves to everyone else it is possible for a battery electric vehicle to weigh largely the same as its petrol equivalent. Well done Dacia, let\u2019s hope that where you lead, others will follow.<\/p>\n

The Skoda Elroq is an overdose in competence. If you can imagine such a thing. It religiously follows the path walked by the Enyaq before it, and for that reason it majors in just about every department that could matter to someone in the market for a sensible, mid-size electric car that doesn\u2019t break the bank nor originate from the land of the Great Wall. Add its confident styling into the mix and Skoda appears to have nailed it yet again.<\/p>\n

The EV3 is just so roundly, crushingly competent in the same way a Golf used to be. Keenly priced and promising not to depreciate like a dropped ice lolly on a beach. Easy going and comfy to drive. Right-sized for families and not too bloated to park. It\u2019s a roundly thought-out bit of kit as a \u2018car\u2019. And it doesn\u2019t trip up when you factor in the \u2018electric\u2019 bit \u2013 adequate performance, strong range, and the ability to accept a speedy recharge. Not a given in an entry-level EV.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Chinese EV that defies Chinese-EV stereotypes. It’s not generic to look at, not dull to drive, and not absurdly cheap. It’s quite a lively feeling rear-drive hatchback. It has now had its mid-life refresh. Most of the upgrades are to the cabin: displays, seats, switchgear and materials. Oh and model for model, prices are cut for the facelift too.<\/p>\n

This is the future we were promised \u2013 a car with sentience, a sense of humour, and a fresh take on the old norms. After trying this, your old repmobile will just feel a bit dull. The Model 3 has been in production since mid-2017, but even heading into old age, nothing on the market has yet managed to beat it on all fronts. While not without flaws, it is quite simply one of the most interesting, compelling cars in the world right now. We might even look back on it as the car that changed the way we all drive.<\/p>\n

A massive improvement to the Model Y from Tesla. It may have taken the company a while to react to the feedback, but they\u2019ve got there in the end. The new Model Y is quieter, more efficient, calmer to drive and nicer to be in. The only issue is that where it was a good distance from the competition, it\u2019s now just about keeping ahead of the curve, and the initial surprise and delight is gone.<\/p>\n

This unusual four-door electric GT is an alluring combo of style, interior well-being, comfort and technology for an everyday car. The improved range and charging makes this year’s version even more compelling.<\/p>\n

That’s probably a solid set of reasons to buy it. Wrap all that around the Taycan’s magnificent capacity to devour interesting roads and it’s a compelling machine indeed.<\/p>\n

Electric has enriched the Rolls-Royce. It\u2019s still a galloping, ocean-going, 24-carat indulgence, but with a tasteful specification it\u2019s just about possible to swerve absolute vulgarity.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rich in the decadence of the so-called glory days but gratifyingly simple to operate. While other manufacturers wrestle with the conundrum of transposing their family heirloom values into an electric future, the age of electric propulsion will suit Rolls-Royce very well indeed.<\/p>\n

Right now, the Ioniq 5 N is an electric car that’s as involving as a really good petrol car. In some ways it does that by brazenly impersonating a petrol drivetrain. The surprising thing is that’s absolutely not just a gimmick.<\/p>\n

Then in corners it has some original tricks of its own. It’s not just fast, it’s confident and playful so it’s fun even when it’s not going fast. It’s useful and versatile too.<\/p>\n

So it has many of the talents you expect from an electric car, and many more that so far are unique in EVs. Which makes us call it a new and brilliant chapter.<\/p>\n

The R5\u2019s not the first premium-retro EV. It shares with the Mini and Fiat 500 a knowing silhouette, lavish external jewellery and a smart, cheery cabin. But it\u2019s bigger than a Fiat 500 and goes further, and it’s more practical than the Mini and copes better with bumpy roads.<\/p>\n

It’s not the cheapest EV either. But looking at performance and range, it’s right in the sweet spot, and the bi-directional charging could help subsidise your outlay. Most of all it feels consistent: as charming to drive as it is to look at and to sit in. Your first love should last.<\/p>\n

The new iX3 manages to expunge many or all of the annoyances of new-age EVs. It doesn’t feel heavy or numb to drive. It charges super-fast, and it’s efficient so needs to charge less often than rivals. The control system is intuitive. The driver assist doesn’t drive you bananas.<\/p>\n

The Neue Klasse isn’t trying to be different or shocking. It’s like a BMW; just a fabulously good one. An emphatic leap more intuitive, rewarding, precise and involving (yet relaxing) than the rest of today’s BMW crossovers.<\/p>\n
