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.

Subaru Solterra

It isn't trying to outshine flashier rivals — instead it stakes its claim on reliability and friendly simplicity, making it a sensible, slightly cheeky choice for buyers who want an EV that behaves like a Subaru.
