JOIN ALEX FOR A STROLL AROUND GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED

EV Channels Review

The Goodwood Festival of Speed provided a vibrant backdrop for a comprehensive tour of notable EVs. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, with its 641 horsepower and unique simulated eight-speed transmission with torque dipping and rev-limiter capabilities, was a major highlight. While the reviewer found the imitation engine sounds and shifting a bit "silly" and "boy racer," they acknowledged the performance potential and the option to disable these features. The review also touched upon Tesla's increased presence, the new Polestar 3 and 5, the electric Lotus Eletre, the Ford Explorer EV (a VW MEB-based model for Europe), the MG Cyberster and MG4, the Kia EV9, and the intriguing Hi-Fi EV from China. The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster pickup was also showcased. The overall sentiment was positive, highlighting the event's diverse offerings from established manufacturers to new Chinese brands and the unique atmosphere of the festival.
