EV Channels Review
This video pits the Kia Niro, Nissan Leaf, and VW e-Golf against a race track to determine their performance capabilities. While none are designed as track machines, the reviewer found the Kia Niro to be the most capable handler, offering a surprisingly balanced feel and decent rotation into corners, despite its weight and traction limitations. The Nissan Leaf and VW e-Golf exhibited significant understeer and were deemed less engaging to drive. The reviewer noted that while electric cars shouldn't be significantly affected by altitude, all three vehicles were among the slowest tested. Ultimately, the Niro is highlighted as the best of the bunch for its handling and safety characteristics, even if none truly impress as performance vehicles, serving better as efficient commuters.
