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 · 2024

Volkswagen ID.4

Family SUV on the MEB platform. 550 km WLTP, 77 kWh, 286 hp; braked towing weight 1,200 kg. Infotainment was slow at launch, partly resolved with the 2024 software update. Owners report winter consumption 20-25% above WLTP (public forums, n≈21; not measured by us).

Profile · Single Motor Extended Range (2024)

Volvo EX30

Compact electric SUV on the SEA platform (shared with Smart #1). WLTP 476 km with the 64 kWh pack (Extended Range, NMC). Strong point is the acceleration; point of attention is the modest boot (318 l) for the class. Owners report in practice 15-25% less range in cold weather (public forums, not measured by us).
