Four characters. Four exciting electric SUVs. Who made the right choice? Let the tussle begin!

PLUG N PLAY

Seemingly, to be divided over virtually everything that exists under the sun has become a new norm. Be it politics, religion, race, cuisines, sporting icons, or even our preferences in vehicles, everybody seems determined to claim that ‘mine is better than yours’.

A similar scenario unfolded in our office when the brand-new BWM iX1 – the company’s entry-level luxury electric SUV – turned up in our office’s parking lot. Our colleague Dhruv Paliwal was quick to jump the gun to claim that it’s the best luxury EV in its segment after driving it just once, or perhaps twice, up and down a stretch of the road. But Aakash was in no mood to concede Dhruv’s claim, so he rang Volvo to send the C40 Recharge to our location and argued that it is undeniably superior to the BMW in every aspect. He further contended that the Volvo looks ten times better than the BMW, thanks to its sloping coupe roofline and understated aesthetics.

When Karan, always ready to don tuxedos and styling his hair with the strongest of gels, overheard the debate on style, he couldn’t resist joining in. His claim? The Kia EV6! He asserted that the EV6 is the epitome of style, citing its spaciousness and abundance of features. He also claimed that if one can look past the snob appeal of the BMW or the Volvo badge, the EV6 offers an unmatched value for money for EV buyers in the segment.
