I drove these NEW electric cars until they DIED!

It’s time for another carwow EV range test!
We’ve got our hands on six of the latest all-electric SUVs to hit the market, and we’re about to see just how accurate the manufacturer’s claimed ranges are! So let’s take a closer look at the cars we have joining us.
First up it’s the Volkswagen ID Buzz. It comes with a single electric motor that drives the rear wheels and can produce 204hp. The edition we have here also comes with a 77kWh battery which is good for a claimed range of 255 miles. The one we have here also costs £65k, although the range starts from £57,000.
Next up it’s the Mercedes EQA. This edition has a single motor that drives the front wheels and can put down 190hp. We’ve got our hands on the entry-level version, which costs £52,000, and it comes with a 71kWh battery that comes with a claimed range of 263 miles.
We also have the Nissan Ariya joining us for this test. The Ariya comes with a starting price of £46,000, although the version we have here cost around £54,000. As a result, it comes with an 87kWh battery which has a claimed range of 310 miles. Its single electric motor can also produce 242hp.
Next up it’s the Audi Q4 Sportback. The Q4 range starts from £52,000, although we’ve got our hands on the dual motor edition which costs around £64,000! As a result of the two motors, it can put down 299hp, and the 77kWh battery has a claimed range of 312 miles.
The penultimate car in this line-up is the Genesis GV60. With a 77kWh battery, this single-motor rear-wheel-drive edition can produce 229hp and it has a claimed range of 321 miles. The entry-level GV60 costs from £54,000, and the one we’ve got here costs £63,000.
Then finally we have the Tesla Model Y Long Range. The range starts from £45,000 and comes with a single electric motor. As for the Long Range, this costs from £53,000, and it also comes with dual motors that can put down 384hp. It also has a 75kWh battery which has a claimed range of 351 miles.
So how do you think these will compare? Will the oh-so-popular Tesla Model Y win it? Or could we see a different competitor go the furthest? You’ll need to stick with Mat for this all-new EV range test to see for yourself!

I avoid highways in the electric car. Highway in an N/A Petrol 3.2 Volvo, the Turbo Diesel mated to a torque converter auto has the efficiency of highway and city, but in “heavy” traffic, the EV instant torque is great dealing with traffic, even the best turbo diesel is going to feel laggy compared to an EV and your fuel usage goes through the roof in the city with an old Heavy inline 6 Volvo. But the EV will drain as soon as you’re on the highway. Also, worth getting “normal” tyres on the EV, because economy tyres are awful.

Also worth pointing out range is totally dependant on driving style. Last week I did a 90mile stint at a steady 60mph (actual avg was 56mph due to some roadworks on the M25) in an 18th month old Model Y with 18,000 miles on the clock, and got 193Wh/mile or 5.2 miles/kWh which would give a range of about 390 miles. In short, decreasing speed drastically increases range - who knew? Disclaimer - weather was warm, no wind and so climate control was only ticking over. I was the only occupant. Accel mode was Chill with basic autopilot on most of the time

Very good video!! The wipers will not turn off while you're on autopilot though because the cameras need them. also when you turned the steering wheel it disengaged autopilot and that's why it moved over 2 lanes. if you look at the screen it will show blue lines when autopilot is engaged. the car will also not change lanes by itself. but you can change this in the settings.

[@i-love-space390]

Personally, I think the engineering decision of the Tesla technical team (how much pushed by Elon, I have no idea) to rely EXCLUSIVELY on cameras for all autopilot decision making is a real dangerous mistake. Even if it becomes good, the best it can do is what a human is capable of. If it used sensor fusion, it could conceivably become BETTER than human (see in fog, bad rain, etc) and be an actual safety enhancement device. Instead, I will always be leery of Tesla's autodrive technology. I prefer a company that is conservative and UNDER-promises and OVER-delivers, instead of Tesla that OVER-hypes and UNDER-delivers.

Great video Mat - thank you! I drive a Nissan Ariya 87kw with 19 inch wheels which, as you said, has a greater range, but also much more comfortable than the 20 inch version. The tyre sidewalls make a huge difference. My experience when I first got the car last October (15C) was a consistent range of 300 miles dropping to 250 when it was around freezing in January. I’ve heard the criticism of the head room before - I am 6ft 2in and suffer no such issues even with the panoramic roof fitted. I put it down to the fact that when the seat is pushed further back, more headroom is created, and us tall guys tend to have the backrest more inclined as well. I really love the Ariya - a truly great all-rounder.

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

I am 6ft1 and have head room to spare front and back. No electric car can return as much headroom relative to it's height than an ICE car. Ariya has great ground clearance, the there is the battery. I think they made the most out of it. And I love, that this is a proper SUV and you don't have to watch out on every curb or bump. At least where I live, that's key. Even more impressive, that it delivers such good efficiency. It's a damn good car indeed. Lots of refinement, air purifying system, digital rear view mirror, great matrix headlights and HUD, super low losses when charging via AC and DC, extremely flat charging curve so good speeds nonetheless, in winter it actually is faster than most, over the air updates from factory with two SSD system, so no sitting around anymore, waiting for an update to finish...good stuff!

An enjoyable and interesting group test, however what would be interesting (and also useful IMO), is to see how the cars ranked when you take into consideration what their average speed was during the tests!? We only get to see brief insights into this during the video, and from what I saw the different drivers had quite different driving styles, hence some were probably travelling a fair bit quicker than others at times, thus their higher avg. speed is likely to have caused the performance to suffer.

VW’s greatest “success”! The chickens are coming home to VW’s roost. Pride & arrogance always precedes the fall. Not yet mentioned is whether non-NACS cars will have the “totally Tesla” seamless charging experience, including Navigation-embedded availability & pricing, plus automatic billing, along with 99% uptimes. Regardless, each use will expose previous CCS users to NACS’ diametrically opposed superiority, making them rue the day they were hoodwinked into buying into the CCS-sphere.

[@epcphelan]

Activating voice control, then 'requesting' to change lanes to follow route, then confirming, then having to watch over it so it doesn't cross multiple lanes or hit a cone all seems a LOT harder than just putting on your blinker and turning the wheel a bit ...

[@pedrorodrigueziii4859]

It's a solution chasing a problem, right?

[@Robulite]

You normally just click the blinker on and it goes over one lane, but that's FSD Beta. The FSD Standard is meh, but he turned the wheel too far and disengaged autopilot so that's why it kept going. It just wasn't very obvious to him at the time.

[@DDBmaster]

To be completly fair, for the test to be acurate, you had to have all cars having the same psi of air pressure in their tyres, measured from the same place. Even 3 psi diffirence can make a diffirence between a poor-er mpk and claimed one. Had to leard the hard way on my superbike.. 30km diffirence on a full tank beween 38f 34r and 30f 25r (psi per tyre)

[@jhammer1979]

I know for the Tesla, it can be tow charged using the regen braking for short periods.

[@Dwindamir]

Being a Tesla owner, I get the awkwardness for autopilot. Changing lanes you have to be very gentle otherwise you disengage (as Matt did), it also has a fear of cones so I'm surprised it didn't push you off the road a lot earlier. Either way a great video and great comparison and some good looking cars there too. Personally I'd love a ID Buzz

Someone near where I live (Dawson City, Yukon, Canada) bought an EV, and drove it up from out city, Whitehorse. Normally a six hour drive (530km), but at -40C, the range was very low. They had to stop at every charger between the two places. The heater does not work while the vehicle is being charged, so they had to wait, in the cold. The total trip took about 12 hours. It will be a good while for EV's to become popular in Canada's north!

You're right, but Tesla's ADAS is a bit finnicky and not always confidence-inspiring, even with its very impressive safety statistics. I say that as a three year Model 3 owner who is excited by the potential of Tesla's FSD when it finally arrives (unlikely to be very soon).

In an internal combustion car, if you run out of gas, you can have a spare gallon in the trunk to put in, or you can call someone to bring you a gallon. That's part of Auto Club membership, that they will send out a truck to bring you some if you run out. If it's not too far away you can walk to a gas station to get some to put in. They need to have an analog for electric cars, a "gallon of electrons" to take you a few miles that the Auto Club can bring you.. This is especialy a need in parts of the western U.S. and Canada, where there are places where the nearest town can be 100 miles away. Even on main highways, say Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, there can be fairly long distances between towns in the desert
