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.

details

VW ID.4

The VW ID.4 is a roomy, comfort‑focused electric SUV that makes family life and daily commuting effortless with a practical interior and a calm, efficient powertrain. It’s reassuring and sensible rather than thrilling — well suited to long stretches thanks to a relaxed ride and useful assistance systems, but the touch‑centric controls, restricted rear visibility and muted steering keep it from exciting drivers who want sportier dynamics.
