Model (Y) behaviour

NEW Tesla Model Y

Long Range

List price £54,990 Target Price £54,990 The Model Y promises the long-range and potent performance of the Model 3 saloon, but with extra practicality

Audi Q4 e-tron

50 quattro S line

List price £54,545 Target Price £54,545 With a plush interior and top-notch refinement, the Q4 is a polished electric SUV. However, it has the shortest official range here

Kia EV6

GT-Line S AWD

List price £51,945 Target Price £51,945 The rear-wheel-drive EV6 is our reigning Car of the Year and favourite electric SUV, with a broad range of talents, but is it as good in range-topping four-wheel-drive guise?
