Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · 64 kWh (SX2, 2023+)

Hyundai Kona Electric

Compact electric crossover, second generation. 514 km WLTP, 65.4 kWh. The DC charging peak at 102 kW is lower than at some competitors; a 10-80% charge therefore takes relatively long (manufacturer figure). Braked towing weight 750 kg.

Profile · Highland (2024)

Tesla Model 3

The Highland update (2024) brought a quieter cabin, longer-travel suspension and a revised interior. Strong on charging speed and software updates. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure.
