Kia EV6

The Kia EV6 looks like it sprinted off a concept stage, its bold, futuristic lines wrapping a surprisingly spacious and grown-up cabin. On the road it delivers crisp, immediate thrust and composed handling, with enough everyday practicality and slick tech to make ditching petrol feel like an upgrade rather than a compromise.

Mercedes EQE

The Mercedes EQE glides like a silk-wrapped saloon from the future, pairing whisper-quiet refinement with a high-tech cabin that feels both modern and indulgent. For buyers who want electric luxury without shouting about it, the EQE is composed, comfortably confident, and just smug enough to feel special.
