HOW I KILLED 5 BRAND-NEW ELECTRIC CARS

EV Channels Review

This Carwow video pits five premium electric SUVs against each other in a real-world range test from Oxford to Scotland. The Genesis GV70, BMW iX, Polestar 3, Audi Q6 e-tron, and Kia EV9 are evaluated not just on their maximum distance but also on their efficiency and driving experience. The Genesis GV70, despite its luxurious interior and comfortable ride, proved to be the least efficient, running out of charge first with a total range of 279 miles. The reviewer praised its comfort and materials but noted its weight and a slight lean in corners. The BMW iX, while offering immense power and a comfortable ride thanks to optional air suspension, was criticized for its interior quality not justifying its high price point and a less intuitive infotainment system. The Audi Q6 e-tron was found to be efficient but lacked punch with its single motor and its interior quality was deemed to have declined. The Kia EV9 was highlighted for its practicality, spacious interior, and good value, though its performance was considered sluggish with the base motor. The Polestar 3, despite having the largest battery, showed impressive efficiency and a refined driving experience, ultimately winning the range test with a total of 366 miles, though it did run out of charge just shy of the destination. The reviewer found the Polestar 3 to be a strong contender, preferring its design and driving dynamics over the Audi and Kia, but noted some cost-saving measures like the toggle for rear windows.
