A slightly inflated price relative to the equipment included in this car.

Comfortable, but feels a bit firmer (over small bumps) than the Q5. You can tell the car has some heft!! The electric power — 388 PS / 285 kW BEV — is incredible. The battery drops pretty quickly if you push the beast a little. The advertised 600 km range is generous on paper; expect more like 500, or even 450 in winter. The onboard technology is surprising and pushed to the extreme. After trying it, it's hard to go back to a non-electric model.

Lotus Eletre

The Lotus Eletre is a bold, electric SUV that finally lets Lotus step into the luxury EV arena without losing the brand's famed focus on razor-sharp handling and driver engagement. Inside, it pairs a futuristic, tech-heavy cabin with surprising comfort and poise — think of a sports car in evening wear, ready to sprint yet polite enough for the school run.
