Audi e-tron GT

The Audi e-tron GT is a striking electric grand tourer that blends dramatic, low-slung styling with the hushed refinement of a luxury saloon. Behind the beautiful skin you'll find a driver-focused cabin and brisk, silent performance that makes daily commutes feel like auditioning for a weekend road trip — and yes, it manages to be both serious and a little bit smug about it.

After many new Volvos — including a V70 and an XC90 — I've now bought a lightly used XC40 from the dealer. In every respect it was the best choice.
