It’s time for another awesome EV range test!
We’ve pulled together six of the latest & greatest all-electric cars to drive them straight North from London to see just how accurate their claimed ranges are. But we won't be stopping when the range hits 0... We'll keep driving them until they come to a complete standstill, to see just what happens!
So what do we have in the line-up? Well, we’ve gone for range-topping editions of all cars, apart from the first car Mat’s in - the Mustang Mach-E. Sadly, we could only get our hands on the entry-level version for this video. However, everything else in the line-up is top-of-the-range! And what a line-up it is...
Audi Q4 e-tron
Skoda Enyaq
BMW iX3
Hyundai IONIQ 5
Kia EV6
So which do you think will go the furthest? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

10 years ago i would have laughed at the idea of buying a kia or hyundai. nowdays they are among my first choices. well done korea!
Agreed. Some of the best looking cars right now too.
Really?
really reliable cars! Although i still think they look a bit cheapo myself
@@dinohermann1887 yea they can go cry in the corner waiting for their mother and then go to her and cry
@@UKGBManny and the interiors are too cheap for me. Hard plastic in the front on a £45-50,000 car in the Hyundai?!?!
For all my metric people, here is the following distance that the cars went:
Kia ev6 439km
Skoda Enyaq iV 424km
BMW iX3 413km
Ioniq 5 = 381km
Audi Q4 e-tron 376km
Mustang Mach-e 366 km
Thank you!
Tysm!

Thanks
The Kia is actually pretty close to a good real world range.
The fact that the film crew spent their whole day making this into a 43 minute video is incredible. You are much appreciated.
They made for the living
Roy Keane - That's their job
Its almost like its what they do this for a living.
Yeah man, I'm still surprised at the fact that people all over the world work 8 hours per day, every year.
Some people spend months or years to produce a video
Kia sure has come a very long way in terms of quality, style and reliability
Yes i agree
LMAO what are you talking about, they are garbage and still the butt of jokes... they have had MAJOR recalls for the last 10 years and law suits... their EV just had major recalls do to fires.. so get real... they are trash!!

I've never watched a 44 minute car review before; only Matt of all the auto youtubers can be entertaining enough for me to last that long! This was a massive effort from everyone involved and it's much appreciated.

@@captinbeyond I enjoyed the banter and skipping to the end is hardly a 'skill'.
@@sammyt3514 If someone is not interested in what the interior looks like, or the features that comes on it, then why bother. Most of those who clicked on here came to find out how far they actually go and not that it has Android/Apple car play or watching him circle the block for days on end.
@@captinbeyond I am interested in what the interiors look like, so not sure what you're harping on about. And you wouldn't know what 'most people' clicked on the review for unless you've done a survey and you obviously haven't.

@@sammyt3514 Thanks for giving me the right to move on. Sorry that my comments melted your snowflake wings
I like this type of range testing using the highway route, since electric cars get the worst efficiency in the highway, not in the usual town roads where they can use regen braking often and the motor not being stressed out as much
th-cam.com/video/FcxyuBGpCmw/w-d-xo.html
Carwow should upload this for the future.
Depending on if you have a gear box Audi or twin motors tuned for different speeds tesla
HVAC use is even more of a factor in eating range. Figure 20-30% range loss in cold weather.

kia and hyundai have had the biggest glow-ups of any car brands in the 21st century
Yea I got the newest Kia Ceed GT MY22 and noone knows its a kia until the see the badge 🤣
My wife was insisting on that we get a KIA hybrid for her. I was less than excited, but it turns out it's quite brilliant. I really, really enjoy driving it.
Wdym
but their ICE cars are not that reliable
@ Is that why they give a 7 year warranty?
I own an EV6 and I'm glad to see that it doesn't lock up like a Tesla when it is out of battery. (ex. Doors locked, charging door locked, unable to push/move vehicle) Thanks for the info!
I'm also glad to see that there are other manufactures that don't lock up as well.
Not true cause when you fold down Tesla seats in back there’s something that opens teslas charging port
And you can put Tesla in towing mode which you can push the car
Why would the peripheral systems in _any_ EV lose function when the traction battery is depleted? Accessories and power monitoring should be run off the 12 volt lead-acid battery, right? And that shouldn't be drained by the motor at all.
@@BogeyTheBear Just making sure, but you do know they add manual latches and other "fail-safe" mechanisms, right? I own an EV, and they have them. Including Tesla.
Of course, unless you're being sarcastic, then......Haha! and Kudos to you! 🤣👍
Yeah, you can unlock doors manually. But what about the charging port? And, again, why would such locks be powered by the high-voltage driving battery and not the 12 volt accessory battery that every EV runs their infotainment and window motors on?
Hyundai and KIA really did an amazing job with their first true EV. I absolutely love the design of Ioniq 5 and the EV6 definitely growing on me. Definitely my dream ev
There was the kona before i have a 64kwh one brillant car
Kona and Ioniq were (are) efficiency Grandmasters..
I love Žilina i live nearby i see they factory make good cars
Out of all of these I prefer the look of the Hyundai, which is amazing because I never thought I'd ever prefer a Hyundai over a BMW, Audi or Skoda.
But there is a third car build on the same architecture as the Ioniq 5 and the EV6. The Genesis GV-60 and it is coming to Europe soon, hopefully.
I love this kind of test by Carwow. Wish they upload this in the future as well.

@@AlexBakker Hi fellow old subscriber.

@@alunesh12345 no wonder you have 'shit' in your name. You talk a lot of it.
I’m personally not a fan of Hyundai but I was having my car serviced and walked into all the dealerships there. I really have to give Hyundai credit. They really stepped up the game. Putting pressure on the luxury cars brands. I didn’t expect to see the luxury and quality of the cars. Hyundai really showed my how complacent the other big car brands are getting. They really stepped their game up. I don’t think I would jump ship to them just yet. But they definitely got me interested.
Both Hyundai and Kia have or had the old reputation of being crap but in the last decade they have really upped their game, They eclipsed everything no German or Japanesse by 2015 and now they are in the same league more or less. The Germans and Japanesse are too reliant on loyalty which is their weakness and it makes them complacent like you said.

Their EV technology is one of the best on the market. Especially if you choose to go electric, worth considering them. We've driven a Hyundai in arctic conditions for three winters and no matter how cold, it just works.
@@franki7 oh congratulations! Once I retire my Genesis coupe 2.0T i want the GV80 as my suv and the GV60 as my daily since I'm gonna be living in Toronto I don't need a gasoline car.
I think that Hyundai is awesome looking and I reckon that Kia really stands out, but not so much in red. The interior in both the Hyundai and especially the Kia are miles ahead of so many other electric cars. I absolutely hate the vertical tablet type screens, and the Kia having physical controls for climate control is a must
Personally I think the Hyundai looks like something a kid would have drawn back in the 90's or very early 2000 if asked what cars in the future would look like. The "digital" design he talked about in the video just looks dated to me, and in a few years it will just look even more out of touch with good design.
But then that might just be me showing my age. But I do think that a sign of good design is if something still looks relevant in a decade or two, and designs like the Hyundai tends to age badly.
But the inside is pretty nice looking, though I can only talk about what I saw. Physical controls will always be better than touch screens. It's all about the tactile feedback. You don't have to take your eyes off the road as you can feel the controls. Levers and sliders for things like climate controls are a good design that allows you to feel what the settings are. Again, any design that allows the driver to keep the eyes on the road is to be preferred.
Touch screens are good for navigation and possibly radio and phone use, but the problem is that the interface is changing depending on the module that's up front so you have to take your eyes off the road to see what it currently is showing. The buttons and controls also move depending on the active module and there is no way you can feel for them but you more or less have to watch that screen when manipulating the controls.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 Hyundai Ionic 5 is an reincarnation of 70s Hyundai Pony with modern touch. It's the retro look with modern tech...
I agree
as a zoomer I think the i5 looks the coolest. Second place going to the ev6. it's probably what the cyber truck should be
If ionic 5 is look like kid drawn in the 90's , how about tesla cybertruck...? Drawn by the babies...?
The Kia also has a bigger battery than the Ioniq 5 currently. Ioniq 5 has 72kwh while the EV6 has a 77kwh pack.
Additionally I noticed that the Kia was in regen mode 2, whilst the ioniq was in mode 1 (less aggressive) according to the dashboard shots.
In Canada, the Ioniq gets a 77 kwh battery pack as well.
Regen doesn't matter on highway
@riba2233 it does tho. Depending on traffic, you often have to break when there is a slow down or someone cuts you off. A mile here and there regened, and it adds up to a handful.
@@Iamallwaysright1 yeah but that is not really "highway driving" if you stop so often, gets closer to city driving
Shutout for the editor that had to put together this video with all those small clips. I imagine it was a pain to edit it :) Well done. Also, well done KIA and Hyundai. Who wouldve thought a couple years ago that those 2 companies will be the new big bois in the car world.
They aren't "the new big bois in the car world". Guess who didn't have one of their cars in this test? Yes, the number1 EV maker..still, Tesla!
@@Mr1Tanker Tesla are a tiny manufacturer compared to all of these, calm down
@@ericedge2929 Not as far as EV's go.... breath in through your nose, and out through your mouth. smh
Great Britain test. I have always had BMW, Audi and Mercs. I now own a Kia EV6 GT line s, all wheel drive. It is a really fantastic premium feeling car and is great value for money. Well done Kia.
I have a questions hope you can help me. How fast is the charging once you reach 80%
Great video! I have run my 2019 Ioniq with a small 28 kwh battery out so I knew the feelings/emotions you were experiencing. There are methods to gain range such as eco mode and cutting the extra power eaters like heater, accessories and lights (daylight) so I can imagine 10 or more additional miles might be quite possible
It's very interesting how close some of these came to their US rated range. Audi missed by 4 miles, Ford by 2 miles (assuming this was a 2021 before the software patch to allow more usable battery).
It's also interesting the mixture of measures of kilowatt, hours, miles.
@@653j521 That's one measure, it's exactly the same as miles per gallon.
@@GarethRules He probably meant the mix of Metric and Imperial units.
@@ringyring ah fair enough, that's just the way we do it over here and we all got used to it
Yeah the EPA does better range estimates
I’ve actually have tried EV6 and it was amazingly good and very pleasing experience.
The bmw did seriously good for a non traditional EV, I would love to see how the iX and i4 compare.
Yup, that's a pretty impressive feat from bmw.
They are good judging from reviews. Especially the i4
@@TsLeng yeah, range looks good and it’s £10,000 cheaper than the BMW iX3.
i agree with you however the bmw ix3 did pretty well if i do say myself.
Non traditional? BMW had first EV for masses among those brands up, that is the fact.
That Hyundai is selling in boatloads here in Norway where electric car sales is 80% of the market. Hyundai did a lot of things right here, getting Delta HF Integrale vibes from it personally...
what's the most popular car in norway in terms of price, range, and such ? wouldnt cold reduce the range terribly ? especially when running the heater and such
2021 has been a good year for Kia and Hyundai and in some ways both companies might even takeover the car industry
Not until they can make an engine that doesn't blow up every 50k miles.
People keep sucking Hyundai and Kia's dicks but they're just throwing money at cars here. They retool their production line every other year for their cars and never seen to get it quite good enough. They must be spending fuckloads of money and not be making much in return.

@@solefreak2 Most of these cars are their first dedicated EV models. So they have to spent more on R&D, because of that they some how try to cover their cost. That’s why EVs are bit expensive.
Be interesting to test them again in a couple of years time see if their batteries have gone down much. Just about every rechargeable thing I've ever bought suffers from battery loss. Are cars any different? I doubt it.
Yep, the batteries will deplete over time. If you look for 1 gen Leafs or other 10+ yo evs on the used market they are sitting at around 50-80% battery capacity depending on how they were used.
@@spletest8977 if that's reflected in their value, fair enough. I'm not sure it is yet.

Perhaps one day the technology will exist to place physical volume controls someplace other than the screen.

Pure boomer mentality, bmw is falling behind. Now this is their lazy attempt to compete.
I appreciate this test very much. I like the Kia EV6 the most and have ordered mine a while back.
Out of curiosity, what made you go for the EV6? There's so many decent choices in a similar price range these days.
@@Kevin-hp5fk I've seen both ioniq 5 and EV6 and imo the price/quality of these cars is the best right now (V2L, 800V, nice exteriors and interiors with good options, space,...). We ordered an ioniq 5 but for me EV6 is evenly nice
@@Kevin-hp5fk the EV6 has the RIMAC 800 Volt architecture with fast loading. EVs from VAG (Skoda, VW, Audi etc.) seemed to be less value for money. Lastly, the Kia E-Niro performed really well in all categories some years back. I hoped for the same with the EV6.
Loved this video thanks! I’ve got an Ioniq 5 on order and I’m okay with the results you got. Think I may have added the heat pump as an option too so hopefully it’ll perform a bit like the Kia?!? Anyway, we chose the car because of our three leggy teenagers. Space in the back is a must for us and the Hyundai wins every time. Keep this great content coming!
Amazing how Hyundai, Kia and Skoda change this years, how they cars go some steps Up and can fight with the tradicional brands and with some "luxury" brands
Ye bro
Especially Korean brands have come a long way. 10 or 15 years I ago I would not have considered to buy one at all, but nowadays they do sell some very good value cars.
Skodas are a good choice if you want a cheaper alternative to "German" cars.
They definitely compete on price too ! Haha
Because it's the same underneath. All EV's are using basically the same electric motor and the same kind of battery pack. Every manufacturer sources these.
None of them make the parts themselves. Hard to get that wrong.
That's also what makes these EV's absolutely boring crap. It's all the same, and features get locked/unlocked based on how much you pay, even though they can all do the same thing.
Electric drivetrains are a great equaliser.

90% of claimed range on winter motorways is phenomenal really. Suggests they'd easily exceed claimed range in summer on a combined cycle.
No. Thats not winter. And question is. If you get stuck in a traffic jam for few houres in winter ,like - 10 degree or lower . You in big problems.
@@vasme973 sorry, that is winter. You can literally see deciduois trees with no leaves on them. And these cars car run their heaters for 48 hours. Stop drinking the anti EV cool aid.
@@TheAegisClaw it ain't winter till there's ice on my eyebrows.
@@vasme973 I'd argue this is a problem for both EV's and gas cars, especially since gas cars need their engines running the whole time, while the EV would only use secondary systems (heating, lights, ...).
This is winter btw, in most of the world -10°C is very rare, you'll need to be in the upper northern hemisphere (Canada, Scandinavia and Russia essentially, maybe some parts of upper US) to get these temps on a regular interval.
@@vasme973 EVs are most efficient at low speeds, meaning that EVs have more range than gas cars in a traffic jam. When you stop an EV, you are using no power to run the motor. When you stop a gas car, either the engine continues to idle (using gas) or shuts down (stop/start system) and has to start back up which is really bad for the engine.
The fact that the Skoda reserved enough power to maneuver to a charging station (I think) seems to deserve special mention yes? The rest appeared to strand their drivers

Noticed that Kia, Niro in the previous test and the EV6 here, reached a creditable 90% of claimed range. This ‘real world’ test blows right through manufacturers claims and provides honest range and efficiency figures.
Unless im wrong....peoples driving habits can vary greatly from drive it like you stole it...to out for a slow Sunday drive....surely that would affect the battery life. Therefore...while these comparisons dont mean alot to me. For all you gearheads...this reminds me of the Top Gear episode where they ran a Toyota Prius and a BMW M3 (e92 v8 engine) to see which one got the best fuel economy. Spoiler alert. While the Prius was being thrashed around the track, the M3 was leisurely strolling behind the Prius to keep up. While i dont remember the exact figures i wanna say the M3 averaged around 30mpg and the Prius was 18mpg 🤣 its worth a watch!
@@JK-js2td Sure, but this is literally a real-world scenario that most people are concerned about: highway/long distance drives. This is 90% of people’s driving habits for the highway, just keep pace with traffic and go as long as you can.
I’m surprised it wasn’t the BMW to go first, especially with Mat flooring it multiple times to hear the sound it makes 😄
Speed changes have very little effect on consumption with electric cars, unlike they do with gas ones. That's because most of the energy that's put in when accelerating is recovered when slowing down. Only the energy needed to maintain the selected speed counts fully.
EV6 seems quite impressive. 91% of the achieved range is fantastic. It beat the Tesla model 3 LR in range (273 mi to 270 mi) if we compare last year test albeit weather conditions were different. It also looks like the buffer below 0% charge is better with this Kia.
Weather is very a significant factor.
@@kjelle5350 look at the hot weather one with the small evs some of them EXCEEDED rated range at 30C

To think that 2 years ago was the first long range test of electric cars and the cars struggled to get to the 200 mile mark but now, we're eeking towards 300 miles on single charges. It just shows the pace of innovation in EVs, to make them both more efficient at using energy but also more affordable batteries.
The BMW iX3 for me really stood out. It's probably the boxiest of the lot and isn't built on a pure EV platform, but managed to go almost as far as the Enyaq and Kia, at an impressive 3.6 mi/kwh.
...in comes the Model Y and beats all this lot.
I even think if the person in the iX3 hadn't attempted to do a 3 point turn, it would have won. We have one and it's really amazing

@@trefj1369 tesla’s still do well at speed because of their excellent drag coefficients and motor tech. Also they weren’t exactly “driving like grannies”… the way electric motors work driving them hard doesn’t affect their efficiency as much as ICEs.
Great video! The Kia and Hyundai should have been in Eco mode though. That disconnects the front motor from the drivetrain which greatly improves efficiency for long distance driving pretty noticeably in the AWD models. So that means the Kia and Hyundai both probably would have gone another 20 or so miles if they had used Eco Mode.
These videos are starting to be a nice tradition. Keep up the good work.

Ev6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wish they would test one of the MG EVs as they are more to my price range.
Followup idea: Do a city driving version of this. I would love to see how they do with a stop and go city environment or at least mixed conditions.
I think they would be doing the test for a couple of days.
Ev cars are great in town.
I only have an ebike right now but the winter temperatures have halved its range.
Cold weather range is the best method of testing imo.
Street drive isn’t too bad since it does Charged itself during braking.
@@Byu50 Yeah that's part of what I'm wondering about the street route. How much the braking regen will have an affect on the range.
The same journey in a petrol BMW x3 would cost around £45. All those EVs have (very) hot-hatch performance, some are approaching supercar acceleration!!.
Charge via home solar panels for free fuel and what's not to love?
10 years ago the Nissan Leaf did 85miles.
Now we have genuine 250-300 mile ranges and rapid charge.
In 5 years we'll have genuine 500 mile range. The improvement is exponential as battery technology improves.
God knows how good EVs will be in another 10 years.
Well tech improved with anything over time. Problem they need to solve is what to do with the batteries once they pass their expiration date. As of right now there's no real recycling program and it's being thrown into the garbage. They need to find a way for cars to be able to be on the road for more than 10 years and be accessible to those with lower income. 2030 or 2035 when ev only sales take place, I hope they will have solved this problem or else there will be a ton of waste
Merc eqa has a massive range. Well over 400. And yes charging is cheap but factor in a battery replacement at some point. Early Teslas are needing these now and the cost is more than the car is worth, shade over 20k!
Might still be close finacially but I haven't looked at it. If it works out just a tac more pence per mile, probably still worth it as fuel and taxes are only ever going to go up.
@@thebrowns5337 That's the one thing that puts me off, is the replacement battery cost. For someone who has bought old used cars (diesel and petrol), this option isn't really viable with battery powered cars as they will need the replacement or you drive with a reduced range. I mean £20k to replace batteries, how much would it cost to replace an engine in an ICE car?
Still have many doubts about winter conditions though. Right now it's -14 degrees of celsius outside. Hyundai and Kia owners are complaining that their new electric cars (these in the test) are not charging properly, they are charing very very slowly and the manufacturers have confirmed this.
Untill the issues with cold conditions have been solved, these "cars" are still toys and not real cars usable for people that need a car for their job for example. Untill then, diesel BMW continues to be the way to go for me.
@@Manakuski Why don't you use a Uranium 235 powered reactor in the car? With a decay rate of 700 million years, I'd say you should be all set.
Great test! I'd also like to see a breakdown on when each car reached 0%, and when each car went into turtle/limited mode (if different than 0%). It'd let folks get an idea of how much extra capacity each car has.
An important thing that people who are looking for an electric crossover should know about the Mach E is that the "sporty handling" means that it quite easily over steers when the road isn't dry. That does make it fun if you like to go sideways, but for most people a two tonne electric vehicle is too much to handle when it loses grip.
th-cam.com/video/FcxyuBGpCmw/w-d-xo.html ii
Not quiet right, my old man drove both the RWD long range and the Dual motor, very hard to get the Mach E loose with AIDS on, very similar to driving a Edge or RS they both won’t let you go sideways, obviously the RS has drift mode
We need good competition. The fact that Hyundai and Kia are able to hold their own in this space is good for us consumers. It puts these other big manufacturers on their toes and find ways to keep prices reasonable.
43:11 Conclusion
I am Korean and I'm so impressived to kia. In my vision kia was common car and hyundai was family car even they produce luxury car(like K9(in kia) and Genesis(in hyundai. There were higher level car-Equss in hyundai but it is not produced this days.)But after I watch this video, i think kia is sporty and efficiency car(and hyundai is still family car. Sorry ioniq, but you are cute!). Thanks to Carwow, I can have a new vision in my country's car.
(Sorry to grammar fallacy. Because my mothertongue is not English.)
The Ioniq 5's interior quality improves with the higher specifications, leatherette on the doors etc.
Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. GOD loves you soo much unconditionally ❤🙌😘🤗
Yes, I've just ordered an awd ultimate, and it's lovely inside, fairly premium looking

@@stijnhs And they do, many of them. Use their 'salvation' as an excuse for immoral behavior.
Funny, because from distant recollection that's exactly what the bible warns them _not_ to do.
@@stijnhs it’s a bot
Agree. Ioniq is easily the best looker
I always liked the KIA Especially the GT which will have north of 500+HP with good range. And this test video almost sold me on it being the runner up against the cyber truck.
It's absolutely ridiculous how little features you get as standard on the Germans, especially the Audi, and that for such a premium price...
Bmw offers a lot though
@@nikolajbohjerhansen5600 Standard or option?
@@dbclass4075 standard is things like glasroof, faux leather, 3 zone ac etc
I think the benefit of the iX3 is the fact that it looks and largely feels like a regular X3, not all electric cars need to look weird and futuristic
Also it's surprisingly efficient for a regular car conversion.
This series is my favourite from Carwow and can't wait for the next one
If I wanted a car in this category it would probably be between the Kia and the Skoda as both were very efficient and offer good value for money. The BMW and Audi are easily the most expensive and offer the worst value for money (especially the Audi as not even having noticeably better premium feel).
Absolutely loved this video 😍 Super honest, objective and informative. I currently own a Kia Optima PHEV SW and I’ve really fallen a bit in love with the modern Kia brand. So much so that I might soon upgrade to an EV6 LR RWD Upgrade. What was the weather like during the test? Winter weather in Scandinavia tends to drastically reduce range, and different brands might handle this differently. Keep up these fantastic videos 😊👍
I knew the EV6 would smash it. I'd be interested to see what their 10->80% battery charge times would be on a fast charger though.
I'm sorry but this was taken after Ford fixed there software and battery. From what I have seen Ford is the best and can go way longer now. I will be doing homework on it. Cause someone said they own a Ford and got 600 miles on a full charge.
@@lincolnls0416 about 900km? Really. Post proof.
@@EdgyNumber1 if you read I said I do homework on it. But so far newer Mach E got close to 300 miles on a charge. Can look that up. But the 600 that someone said is hard to believe is why I said I be doing homework on it.
@@lincolnls0416 You didn't mention anything about 300 miles. The only figure you claim is 600. There is nothing about 300. Your post makes no sense.
@@EdgyNumber1 😂😂😂. I said someone said they got 600 miles. Can ya read. I only said 300 is for the new 1 I saw on speed channel.
The Ioniq 5 really suffers at higher speed. It must have the drag coefficient of a fridge.
The sacrifices for peak aesthetics
the major issue is that it does not have a heat pump like other EVs including the MachE, Teslas, etc. Heat pumps improve cold weather efficiency massively.
A big THANK YOU to everyone involved in the making of this amazing video - all drivers but also the people behind the scene!
Based on the prices quoted in the video and the results of the test I compared the range per 1 pound to see which car gives you the "cheapest" range. So here are the results:
UK Price per mile (km)
Kia EV6 - 172.16 GBP/mi (106.98 GBP/km)
Enyaq iV - 174.24 GBP/mi (108.27 GBP/km)
Mustang Mach-e - 179.82 GBP/mi (111.74 GBP/km)
Ioniq 5 - 189.87 GBP/mi (117.98 GBP/km)
BMW iX3 - 237.35 GBP/mi (147.49 GBP/km)
Audi Q4 e-tron - 269.23 GBP/mi (167.29 GBP/km)
This is why the single motor variants are the best bang for your buck- longer range, cheaper prices!
Kia EV6 is so good, that Mercedes has decided to copy it and call it EQXX
i wonder how they would perform if fully loaded in terms of weight?
That's a very intelligent comment, have my upvote. They should test in worst possible conditions.
Enyaq 60 coming back from Devon this weekend so around 13 degrees predicted 185 miles with four passengers dog and dog cage and two loaded cases + heater on throughout averaging around 65 mph and range looked about right with remaining battery 3.2 kWh
Quite decent motorway efficiency. They’re all quite closely matched. What would be interesting is in same car drive at 55, 60, 65, and 70 max speed and see what the difference in range is. Because it might be driving slower you could avoid a recharge stop and actually arrive sooner.
I like the Škoda for sure
ALL cars would do better driven at 55mph, regardless of fuel type! But yes, valid test in the electric cars of 55mph vs 70mph.
How much real-life value would those numbers have? You're not driving in a vacuum but along other cars on the highway. So you either drive the same speed as everyone else (like in this test) or you are a big nuisance. And range on slower types of streets will just be higher, but also won't matter. You won't be driving 300 miles on residential streets in one go...
BTW: Stopping more often than in a gas car already makes sense for another reason. For long distances you time your charging stops so that you only charge up to the percentage where charging speed slows down. That's somewhere between 60% and 80% and gives you 15-20 minute charging stops instead of the 45-75 minutes for a full charge.
@@khalidacosta7133 I agree but the difference varies between cars. With a big diesel saloon that difference is quite small but with my previous 1.6tdi engine it was huge (70 vs 50mpg) and drive at 72 and only 46.
@@khalidacosta7133 Thats definitely not true, you are assuming the power requirement is linear, its not.
I have just bought a Kona Electric 64KW and I managed exactly 300 miles on the first charge!
I'd take the Ioniq 5, it looks amazing inside and out.
The build quality of the Ioniq interior is shocking. It looks painfully cheap.
@@markgilbertson1564 It really isn't and is a very nice place to be. Ive done 2,000 miles in mine. Previously had a 2020 X3 .Ok its not BMW standard but still pretty decent.
@@markgilbertson1564 Matt got the base version. The materials in the higher trim are very different.
@@markgilbertson1564 You think clean is cheap. go back to your dark car.
The fact that there is no Tesla in the lineup is testament that they are on a completely different level compared to other EVs
Great result for the Mustang Mach-E. It only needs a bigger battery, the 90kw version. Except for BMW, the Germans are electricity guzzlers.
Skoda is Volkswagen so its German aswell since its a id4 with different look to it
@@fishinggaming2614 yes I know. That's why I wrote "the Germans". Skoda is a rebadged Volkswagen.
Electricity guzzlers, eh? Why do you think that is? I'll spell it out for you since nobody seems to get it. The vehicles have different curb weight, and nobody seems to understand that affects range. They should have accounted for curb weight and Cd. Matt did mention Cd a little bit, but it wasn't mentioned in the results.
Judging by the cars being overtaken on the Motorway by 40 tonne artics this is totally unrealistic!
Great video, as always! Though you could improve it a little if you'd show a chart with all the current stats (mi/kwh, etc.) each time Matt asks around
I’m lovin the Kia.
This is a great test! Booked a test drive of the Skoda recently so this is a good guide for future. Shame you missed the iD3 4 out. Would have been good to see more of the VAG line up against each other.
@@kurtsveistrup3403 been driving my ID3 Pro Tech for about 5 months, no serious issues, yet
I would get a new phone :-)
My thought on this (and everything else regularly produced) was that Matt and his team are such hard working guys......................

Love this series, can't wait for more EV's to be tested!
Big respect for Kia and Hyundai...
I would love an in Detail Video about the EV6. Really planning on getting that one next year. And I already fell in love with it. I've never driven anything not german and finally feel like Korea is catching up on us. Might even be beating us in EVs
I would go for the Mustang, good value for money and beautiful looks.
I saw ionic 5 today and ngl it looks stunning.
th-cam.com/video/FcxyuBGpCmwn/w-d-xo.html
the car with the emergency manouver mode probably wins cause you can still hobble to a charge station
Thank you for this great comparison,
kia 91% rate over there claimed rate is very impressive.
The only trouble is 91% of people can't afford these cars at £40,000+.
So until they come down in price considerably I will never own one.
You can buy v4 cars for 40000
Add in fuel price, maintenance over the life of the car, then think about it. Depending on care, battery replacement on electric still probably beats fuel car.
@@tonik9724 you talk rubbish. another brainless musk fan. i can 3 cars plus 4th =fuel and maintenance.
@@tonik9724 I get what your trying to say Toni.
But I tend to only keep a car for only 4 to 5 years and then I change for a newer car.
The price difference between a combustion engine and an electric car with any reasonable range is ridiculous.
I would have to keep the electric car for 20 years for it to pay back the high cost difference over a combustion engine car.
I like the idea of an electric car and for sure would give it a go.
The idea of having an electric car is that its not just supposed to be good for clean air pollution but its supposed to be considerably cheaper to run, but the idea of it been cheaper to run is completely eliminated when you pay 15, 20 or 30 thounds more for an electric car than a combustion engine car.
I pay about 5 to 6 thousand on fuel over a 4 year period, then add serving ect and I probably pay 7 & a half thousand over the 4 years.
So way I see it I will have saved anything from 10 to 20 thousand if I had payed the high price of an electric car.
So like I said the price of electric cars as to come down considerably for it to be cost affective.
Agreed electric car prices make no sense right now. Also the battery will not last forever ....
Wow that Ioniq 5 is stunning! Not only does it look the best to my eyes I think it will age the best. I like the Kia as well but not nearly as much. The charging speed is incredible on the Hyundai and Kia. They nailed it. I've seen some independent testing of the 0-60 mph of the Ioniq 5 of 4.9 seconds and 0-30 in only 1.8! Hyundai has done it right!
I like its exterior the best, but I wasn't *that* keen on the interior IRL. It's ok, but if I could get it with the EV6 interior, it'd be perfect.
The Ioniq 5 will definitely be a collectors item in the future for sure!
Interesting video, every time we saw a speedometer the cars were going slower than I would expect. It would be good to see a test at motorway speeds.
"Motorway speeds" in a few years will be 70mph. One mph over that and you will be paying a lot of money! The technology is already here to enforce speed limits and strict enforcement is a policy that would pay for itself, so it will be done.
The range would be GREATLY reduced at highway speeds (70-80mph)
If the idea was to check how close the official range is, why would you drive in a way you just can't make any comparison to official figures. Just multiply those results with 80% and you are close to motorway consumption, if you need that info.
KIA EV6 💜 HYUNDAI IONIQ5 👍👍👍
Should have had the ID4 as well in that test to sort out how good the ID4 was against competition in real world testing
It's the same as Enyaq, but more wind resistance. So less range than the Enyaq, even though it's pretty much the exact same car underneath the shell.
Next range test video, let's see the high end cars go head-to-head. The Merc EQS, BMW iX, what else? 🤔
• Tesla Model X?
• Rolls Royce upcoming EV?
@@dbclass4075 the Rolls isn't coming soon enough but for a future video yes, the Model X for sure

th-cam.com/video/FcxyuBGpCmw/w-d-xo.html
That’s bog standard for BMW, Mercedes and Audi. I would know because I’ve had a new BMW (5 series) and Mercedes (c class) without cameras.
Na that's not true, I specced the 50 version and it had all the toys. The rwd version is a lot cheaper fully kitted up. Still expensive though, I ended up getting an Ioniq 5
Sadly there’s a little bit of lazy journalism taking place; the Q4 e-tron 50 in Edition 1 Trim, with both Comfort and Sound pack and Technology pack (giving everything he described and a lot more) is around £62,500 with metallic paint. There isn’t a £63k model that lacks those other bits.

It would be interesting to see how Tesla compares.
I love how the Hyundai ioniq made such a huge splash in terms of likability!
