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.

The NIO EL6 blends coupe-like styling with a spacious, tech-packed cabin that makes it feel more premium than its price tag suggests. It steers with quiet confidence and clever conveniences — including NIO's battery-swap option — so long trips start to feel like pure driving pleasure rather than logistical planning.
