^ This is my choice. I'm expecting to place an order once my local dealership has their test drive model in, we've had a few hyundai now and their interior quality is improving, excellent warranty and the amount of kit you get at each spec lvl vs the Germans is just immence.

It’ll be better than an American offering. We ran a Kia Sorento as a family car over an xc90.

Better charging ?

Better infrastructure?

Better performance?

Better battery?

Last I heard the Mercedes EQE was due in 2022, not sure exactly when though.
I definitely want to see the IONIQ 5 in the flesh though - I think with EVs we have to be prepared to get over some of the £50k for a Hyundai/Kia badge snobbery.

Will be interesting to see how well they hold their value. You'd assume a lot better than their more expensive ICE cars like the Stinger GTS mentioned above but only time will tell.

Some Kia’s hold their money very well. The sorentos etc.

However it’s a company car so I’m not really bothered.

I do think their a growing brand, the Hyundai just looks so cool also.

I’ve just noticed the Audi q4 - don’t think there’s been proper range tests yet?

I am also after something that will do a minimum of 200 miles. We go back to Hertfordshire once a week to visit family. It need to carry four people and some luggage for when we have to collect grandchildren.

So far, it’s between the polestar and Mach E.

Does the Hyundai really have that battery range?

Should do easily. The larger battery version has a WLTP range of 298 miles and Hyundais/Kias tend to get far closer to their official figures than other manufacturers.

The larger battery RWD version in premium spec will be the one to go for if 200+ miles all year round with a decent buffer and no range anxiety is a priority. Same goes for the Polestar 2.



Ultimate spec seems to lose 20 miles of range (if you spec 20" wheels)

The Mach E will not do what you want, why are considering it ?

The LR RWD Mach-E has an 88kWh battery and WLTP range of 379 miles, surely it can do 200 easily?

When Bjorn tested in the winter at 120km/h it did 163 miles (that was the LR AWD version though)

Even 400 Wh/mile it will do that. Ive been getting days of 300 in this heat for a 38mile trip. Admit not on motorway speed.

It was also in wet, -5 conditions, running winter tyres.
