BEST ELECTRIC SUV | Testing 8 EV SUVs

[@AkankshaSharma-f1h]

Navigating the EV world can be tricky, but finding an efficient, eco-friendly SUV like the Toyota BZ4X makes the journey worthwhile!

[@anumohanms]

Good review.. Personally i have test driven most of these cars (except the Mazda and Toyota) + Model Y, Audi Q4 etron, Lyriq, Rivian and Genesis GV70. Will need to keep the last 3 in a different segment due to their price. The best one is Genesis GV70 hands down. From the rest my favorite is Kia EV6.

[@midnight4109]

I wouldn't buy any of these cars due to the somewhat limited range. What makes the GV70 stand out? Lyriq has some advantages

[@ingo08]

Hey guys, nice review. Just have several misses in the videomix department, showing the wrong car.

[@Anusiri-r9s]

Among the top contenders, the Toyota bZ4X stands out for its reliable performance, efficient design, and environmentally friendly features, making it one of the best electric SUVs.

[@johncipolletti5611]

Funny how they quickly jump passed the ridiculous price of the Ford Mach e.

[@neilstroud1321]

We picked up our 2023 Mach E GT 2 weeks ago for $47,340

[@BlakeCheck]

From a 2023 Chattanooga built iD.4 Pro S owner, that was a fair assessment. We bought it for comfort, price, and practicality. It excels in those departments. That said, it was a mistake to not cover the Model Y which is obviously a car that will be considered by anyone shopping in this segment. Omitting the Model Y suggests bias and calls the credibility of this channel in to question imho.

[@AutoGuide]

Thanks for the reply. We were not able to acquire a Model Y for testing. We were able to rent a Model 3 for an upcoming comparison later this week.

[@worldofsportshd1904]

I was hoping that they would include Lotus Eletre

[@Mark-oq9fl]

Which vehicle delivers the least jarring bumps on bad roads?

[@Demobot1]

Maybe the ID.4 or the Ioniq 5. I hear the BZ4X has a nice ride as well.

[@zlatonicbuzz]

Id4 and niro are the ones id pick but with style ioniq 6 cuz the retro style

[@Demobot1]

To me it all comes down to price vs features

[@claudiuchi2787]

What happened with model Y?

[@mdshovel]

Model Y is a saloon not an SUV

[@claudiuchi2787]

@@mdshovel I know americans love their huge cars but stating model Y is a saloon is a bit far fetched...

[@mdshovel]

@@claudiuchi2787 why? it in no way resembles an SUV.

[@Demobot1]

They couldn't get one for this comparison. That is a problem with a lot of reviewers.

[@Robin-es3os]

@@claudiuchi2787 model y is the best choice.

[@Bicloptic]

Seems like the Mazda should have been a plug-in hybrid.

[@ameliablack4613]

Is there an available solution to recharge is you run out range on the road... Like when a friend (or a tow) could bring you 5 gallons of gas?

[@ameliablack4613]

They answered this in the video. A tow truck can recharge a bit.

[@Limitless_EV]

Nice video ya'll!!

[@thekat-dg9fx]

The Mustang Mach-E is built in North America, so the ID.4 is the only car of this set built in the US, but not the only one built in North America.

[@Demobot1]

Nice word play. But the Mach e is built in Mexico not the USA.

[@sergeyairon8515]

Unfortunately, they don't sell Chinese ELECTRIC SUV in Canada, which are much better and much cheaper.

[@KentBuchla]

No, they aren’t uniformly “better” and “cheaper” is often a false friend. But hey, if you like rolling spyware, go for it. The CCP thanks for the cash and endorsement.

[@badugiboybimmer9232]

Crash certification requirements and market size is probably the reason. Maybe there are a few that would be worthwhile but some of them seem to fold pretty badly in crashes that you see on KZbin.

[@4literv6]

So the most American made and world's best selling ev overall the tesla model Y. Not to mention the safest in a crash, highest performing overall with the best efficiency and standard tech per trim. Wasn't included because "reasons" 🤣

[@GROGU123]

Tesla doesn’t do marketing. So no press cars. Most Model Y reviews I’ve seen online are borrowed cars from actual owners or bought as long term test vehicles. Though these guys could have rented one from Hertz.

[@mdshovel]

Model Y is a saloon .. not a SUV

[@4literv6]

@@mdshovel classified as an suv by the epa here in the U.S. so that works for me. 😎

[@GROGU123]

@@mdshovel It has a 3,500lbs tow rating which is among the highest in it's class. Keep in mind that americans use a 10% tongue weight for better stability and safety. So tow ratings are lower here than in Europe. It can also seat 7 people and the cargo area is quite big.

[@mdshovel]

@@4literv6 I see ... but to me it is a saloon, I need ground clearance

[@UncleAlpha1]

First car maker that makes an 8 seater van EV will take my money!!! 😊

[@GROGU123]

Kia EV 9, Tesla Model X, Rivian R1S.

[@777Sharkbait]

@@GROGU123those are all 7

[@GEDOHBLAZZTER]

Heard volvo is making the first ev minivan but I think it might only be 7 seats

[@777Sharkbait]

Volvo EX90 coming out 2024. It’s 7 seater like the XC 90 (gas) They say under $80k.

[@ureviews]

Lack of Tesla in the comparison is weird..

[@middler5212]

Model Y isn’t really “new.” Plus they don’t play well with others, so Edmunds might not have been able to get one.

[@mikobel7131]

Make sense since tesla doesn’t advertise. Should’ve at least been addressed since it’s the top selling EV.

[@ureviews]

@@middler5212 the Mach-E is not new... also some others... Also wouldn't you want to know how the new models do against an and maybe aging model?

[@777Sharkbait]

@@middler5212Mach E is 3 years old ? That’s not new either.

[@KentBuchla]

Worry not; there isn’t much information given here that can’t be obtained from a one-sheet brochure or online spec sheet.

[@Robin-es3os]

Has anyone heard of a tesla model y?

[@ornj100]

No

[@Demobot1]

Did you bother to read the sub title 🤔🤷🏿‍♂️

[@ronaldmacdonald7226]

There is a significant portion of the population who won’t even consider a Tesla.

[@Hayqt]

Tesla is mind numbingly boring. No options..

[@logix6866]

No, I don't support fascists

[@mech-E]

Know what’s better than any of those? The worlds best selling vehicle that isn’t the F150. Huge miss to not include it.

[@trentmorrison6074]

I dont wanna talk shit but. Non of these look like suvs. They look like over sized fucking sedans that apeals to somone that wants a suv but is stuck with suburban life with kids. SUVs should be somthing that bridges the gap between a car and truck. Have better clearance then all these cars. Think rav 4, crv ( especially 1st or 2nd gen) 4runner if you want more truck in a suv. EV isnt the problem. Its how the EVs are being built.

[@yousefashraf-y7r]

you forgot the Tesla model 3

[@Rosso488]

Why do electric cars have to be so ugly? Everyone of these cars seem like something an older person would drive.

[@wolflarson71]

Like the Volvo EX30? I think it looks pretty slick.

[@Rosso488]

​@@wolflarson71ok I see your point and Ive always liked Volvo. The ex30 is not bad especially in black. But I don't know. Something's not setting well. The ex30 is awfully cheap for a Volvo.

[@codenameu.arctos3747]

To my extremely biased opinion (because I have one in red) the EV6 looks pretty darn good for a hatchback

[@nicks4066]

Ngl I’m a huge fan of the Mach e look

[@sbauman67]

You lost me when you called the Mach-E a Mustang.

[@VanIyke]

How is that Mustang an SUV???? And I get Elon Musk use a raging A-hole, but where is the Tesla Y in all this? The Ioniq looks like a VW Golf hatchback.

[@suteners2111]

off road maybe?

[@Portareaf]

There is a reason the Model Y isn’t here. It is hands down the best option currently available.

[@bfvader]

Not a fan of it. We borrowed one for a couple of days and I couldn't get used to having everything controlled via the central ipad. The suspension had a weird mix of crashy and wallow-y and the interior was bland at best. We finally got our EV6 GT-Line AWD in the summer and couldn't be happier.

[@Portareaf]

@@bfvader you must enjoy how Apple CarPlay choose not to sync or the less range and storage capacity.

[@bfvader]

@@Portareaf My wireless Android Auto via a Carlinkit 2air adapter has been solid so far, for both myself and my wife. The marginally less range (rated 474km vs 532km - though in reality I can get over 500 regularly and Tesla has a class action suit against it for inflated stated ranges) is made up for by the fact that I get faster DC fast-charging if I need it (234kW for an extended periods vs 210kw for a few seconds on the Y). And there are far more 350kw CCS stations on Vancouver Island than Superchargers (two V1 @ 100kW and one new V3 @ 250kW). The EV6 can easily carry everything I need, even a full location photography studio kit with strobes and stands.

[@bfvader]

@@Portareaf Plus I don't look like every other bland jelly bean Tesla on the road around here. We have one of the highest number of Teslas per capita here and I have to say it's fucking boring seeing the same white car over and over on the roads. Even between models they just look like bloated or elongated versions of the same bland design. You have no idea how many people comment on or ask questions about my car or check it out as I drive by, while nobody gives a shit about yet another boring Tesla.

[@Portareaf]

@@bfvader ah okay. Didn’t know you were driving the car for the comments from others. Weird that so many other people around you have bought a Tesla while you are the only one with your EVE6. Wonder if that shows which one is the better car in some way…

[@captainkirk5622]

Polstar for me

[@mdshovel]

Where's the Volvo XC40 ?

[@KentBuchla]

I wish that they’d have included chapters so that I can verify, but it looks like they’ve left out all of the Chinese-owned companies.

[@r.d.9399]

I'm surprised at how much of a failure these manufacturers are. Overpriced bland boring vehicles. The Mustang is likely the best one here.

[@enyaq007]

Where is best looking.....skoda enyaq

[@alexandermaliy3515]

Strange review, different features to judge for different cars🤷🏻‍♂️

[@plutodestroyer12]

tesla and then everyone else

[@777Sharkbait]

Your review is a Joke considering you made your best effort to leave out the worlds leading EV seller. The model Y. And is the Bolt not an SUV either!

[@Demobot1]

It's not their fault that Tesla doesn't have a PR department for them to contact and get a loaner car. Or that one wasn't available for the comparison. Maybe next time they could use your Model Y.

[@Disgracefoold]

Really, you have to exclude Tesla to let the other kids win???

[@christophresmerowski1824]

PAY ATTENTION NOW --- YOU'VE BEING LIED TO ALL THE TIME: A new study found that fueling electric vehicles costs roughly $17 per gallon. In its paper "Overcharged Expectations: Unmasking the True Costs of Electric Vehicles," the Texas Public Policy Foundation stipulated that the hidden costs of fueling EVs drastically outweigh its low upfront fueling costs. The hidden costs come from an increased burden on the energy grid exerted by charging stations, and an enormous amount of federal subsidies.

[@Demobot1]

LOL. Tell that to my gas savings.
