    Who’s up for an electric SUV group test!
    We’ve got our hands on the Audi Q4 e-tron, the Volvo C40 Recharge and the Tesla Model Y to see which is the best mid-range electric SUV you can buy in 2022.
    Not only will Mat be comparing their looks on both the outside and inside, but he’ll be taking them for a drive, launching them to 60mph and taking a look at their power output & range to see which comes out on top.
    When it comes to stats, they’re all relatively similar. We’ve got our hands on the range-topping Volvo and Audi, which put down 408hp & 299hp from their respective 75kWh & 77kWh battery packs. As for the Tesla, we’ve got the entry-level model here as it’s better matched to these two, with a 70kWh battery putting down 384hp.
    In terms of price, the Audi has the cheapest entry-level price, at £43,000. The Volvo is next up at £47,000, and the Tesla costs the most at £55,000. But will the Audi come out on top? You’ll have to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

      You do often get the opposite problem where the review car has every crazy expensive option ticked and people don't realise that you can get it with sensible options for way less. You really need the base price, the price of the most popular spec and the price of the max it out spec.

    I actually ordered Volvo couple of days ago. The way it rides and the fact that everything works as expected... every time as driven the car. Audi was shortlisted for quite a long but the google car took my heart when compared to the audi user interface. As I am just starting my breakfast I can tell my phone/ google to warm up my car and off you go! As a scandinavian living near arctic circle one issue not very crucial in uk is framed door Windows Tesla does not have. Far easier to open doors during the winter if u cant heat up the car in advance for whatever reason. But thanks for a good review!

    Thank you, Mat. Excellent review, as usual.
    Based on my research Tesla Performance has 500-550 HP, not 450HP. I've found dyno test that showed 520HP and a review from Italy showroom. The reviewer said Tesla rated Performance model in Italy at 550 HP.
    The battery size should be 75kWh usable with around 83kWh total capacity for the latest models.
    IMPO, the suspension tuning of Tesla Performance is great. It's a perfect balance between cornering performance and comfort.
    I wish the steering would be more communitive to have a more direct feel to know what front tires are doing.

Also I have already done 6,000 I. The Model Y and I’m averaging around 280miles range (this is increasing at the moment with the warm weather as I actually got around 300miles with mostly motorway driving when it was over 20degrees), did you precondition the car before testing the range?

    I have finally bit the bullet and wandered into the local Tesla sales operation, I can imagine a premium EV in my future as a family car, and recent carwow and RSEV videos have eased my concerns as a committed petrol head. We were only going to sit in the Model Y but ended up taking one out for a test drive. I was concerned re the hard / sporty ride comments however coming from a 2016 Focus RS (pre spring / damper revisions for UK market) just how bad could it be? If somebody is used to a long line of SUV ownership then I can imagine yes they might notice increased firmness but for me this is an improvement and much better complaints wise from the family. The current Model Y setup would tempt me into a more family friendly SUV style of vehicle, something much softer would not do so. I think I'm sold, though I may well try to hire a Model Y for a long weekend before committing.

      I drive an ICE car with flappy paddles. I often use them to shift down while decelerating to increase the rate of deceleration without having to brake. It's a bit like one pedal driving but using your hands instead. If you have true one pedal driving then I guess you wouldn't need it to change regen intensity.

    3:45 Matt, maybe you were just using the steering wheel movement as an example of fiddly UI. But it's a bad example. Not only is this something you seldom ever do in a car (and some people never do) but in the Tesla, the steering wheel position is saved to your driver profile and automatically sets itself when you get in the car. So... not crap, actually awesome!

    Excellent review. I drove all three cars, except against the Model Y Performance. It blows the doors off the Audi and Volvo, but I still find the interior too spartan. I ended up buying a Model 3 Performance and kept my Volvo XC60 until there are more choices (especially power-wise) for electric SUVs.

    See that’s the thing about the Tesla. It is not the best looking. In fact, at some angles the car just looks weird. But functionally, as an appliance. It is an extraordinary car. Here in the states you can even get a Y with a tow hitch and 3rd row seats. We ordered ours in that configuration. I’ve put 8,000 trouble free miles on it so far and didn’t have any of the build quality issues that people talk about. I love the way how the Q4 looks. And I love the cheeky nature of the XC40 Recharge. But the Model Y is clearly the better car, and it’s not even close.

    Fantastic and unbiased review Matt. Excellent. With regard to looks, and in particular the front of the vehicles, you are correct that looks are a personal opinion. But given that the single biggest cost of producing these cars is the battery pack, you would think that making an EV as slippery as possible would get you maximum value from you battery pack. So a Tesla gives you a grille-less design with a low coefficient of drag and therefore you get maximum efficiency and range from your battery pack. I cannot for the life of me understand why Audi and BMW have gone for these large flat closed grills that must act as a drag on the car and therefore use battery power to push them through the air. It is hurting these automakers as they are having to instal bigger battery packs than Tesla to go the same distance. Bigger battery means much bigger cost and they are already paying more per kWH than Tesla when purchasing them. This all flows to the consumer. You pay more to go less but you get a nice looking front (subjective).
