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 Tesla Model Y blends SUV practicality with sports-car poke, wrapping a roomy, minimalist cabin and handy hatch into a slick, aerodynamic package that feels more Silicon Valley gadget than garage ornament. It’s an ideal pick for buyers who want effortless electric driving, regular software improvements and access to Tesla’s convenient charging network, though style-conscious shoppers should know it’s more about tech and efficiency than classic luxury.
