Kia EV6 RWD Air
List price £45,275 Target Price £43,384 Our reigning Family Electric SUV of the Year blends a competitive range with fine driving manners and roomy rear seats. It'll be tough to beat
Renault Scenic E-Tech
Long Range Iconic
List price £45,495
Target Price £41,692
The reinvented Scenic is a wellpriced electric SUV with a long official range of 370 miles in the range-topping form we're testing
Tesla Model Y RWD
List price £44,990
Target Price £44.990 Britain's best-selling electric SUV has great efficiency and practicality on its side, but a budget of £45k only gets you into the entry-level RWD version.
New car prices have gone through the roof since the pandemic, with even the cheapest electric Vauxhall Astra now priced at almost £38,000. Luckily, Renault is on what seems like a solo mission to reintroduce some sanity to the market, with its latest models, including the Clio hatchback and Captur small SUV, undercutting the competition by thousands of pounds in some cases.
Now that same value for money can be found in Renault's electric line-up, thanks to the arrival of an all-new Scenic. This one-time MPV has morphed into a trendier SUV, and you can buy one for £37,495 less than the cost of an electric Astra and thousands less than you'd pay for a typical battery-powered family SUV rival.
Indeed, we had to wheel out the most expensive version of the new Scenic, with its enormous 'Long Range' battery and range-topping Iconic trim, to make this a fair comparison with Britain's best-selling electric SUV, the Tesla Model Y. The cheapest version of said Tesla costs about the same as our range-topping Scenic, yet it has a smaller battery and a much shorter official range.
