Recently, the authoritative British automobile magazine "Auto Express" selected the top ten electric vehicles in the UK in 2021. The criteria for this selection are fair and persuasive based on the comprehensive factors such as the vehicle's range, charging capacity, driving power, car cost, riding comfort and cost-effectiveness, and are also of certain reference significance for consumers to buy cars.
The top spot is Hyundai IONIQ 5. It is the first pure electric car of the independent pure electric brand under Hyundai . It is positioned as a mid-sized SUV. The starting price in the UK market is 36,995 pounds (about 314,100 yuan). The main competitors are Audi Q4 e-tron, Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y and other models.
. Regarding the reason why it is on the list, foreign media said that the car is impressive in all aspects. It demonstrates the next generation of electric vehicle technology, as well as its powerful performance and charging capabilities, which are usually only available for high-end models such as Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.
Specifically, Hyundai IONIQ (Enikkr) 5 has two batteries to choose from and three output powers. The standard battery life version adopts a single motor rear-drive layout, the maximum power of the system is 170 horsepower, equipped with a 58 kWh battery pack, and a range of 354 kilometers (EPA standard, the same below). In addition, the single motor can also be equipped with a battery pack equipped with a 72.6 kWh, with a range of up to 488 kilometers. The dual-motor four-wheel drive version has a maximum power of 325 horsepower and a 72.6 kWh battery pack with a range of 412km.
In addition, it is understood that no matter which version of the car model, the charging power can reach 250 kilowatts. The official said that the car can charge the power from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes, and the charging efficiency is very high, and foreign media gave it high praise. At the same time, foreign media also said that the car has a first-class infotainment system and a wheelbase of 3 meters, and a relatively "people-friendly" price, so it was selected as a pure electric car of 2021. It is worth mentioning that the car will be produced domestically by Beijing Hyundai next year, so you can look forward to it.
ranked second is Skoda ENYAQ iV, which is also the first pure electric vehicle of the Skoda brand. It is built on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform. It is understood that in order to produce a new car on this independent electric platform, Skoda invested about 32 million euros in the production line transformation of the Mlada Boleslav factory.
Foreign media believe that Skoda ENYAQ iV is a typical pure electric family car. It is very practical, complete with complete configuration, good comfort and excellent driving texture. It also indicates that high-end models can drive 500 kilometers after charging, which can alleviate any mileage anxiety. The starting price of the car in the UK is 33,450 pounds (about RMB 283,700). It is not yet clear whether the car will be introduced for domestic sales in the future.
ranked third with Fiat 500. I believe everyone is familiar with this car. It was once imported for domestic sales, and the price was as high as 268,800 yuan. Later, due to poor sales, it was no longer introduced to domestic sales. It is precisely because of this, the value of this car in the used car market has increased, and a car in 10 years can still be more than 100,000 yuan.
Of course, the Fiat 500 on the list this time is not the one we were once familiar with. Its current identity is a pure electric car, with a starting price of 23,995 pounds (about 203,500 yuan) in the UK market. The Yafit 500 is on the list because it perfectly interprets the advantages of urban cars. It is very small in size and can drive quickly on urban roads without worrying about any parking issues. In addition, its car cost is very low and its shape is quite Italian. Many young people like it very much. In fact, it is just like Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, which is relatively affordable and cheap.
ranks fourth is Kia EV6, which is the sister model of Hyundai IONIQ (Enikkr)5, and are all built based on the new E-GMP new electric architecture.Compared with the modern IONIQ 5, the overall shape of Kia EV6 is more traditional, not as sci-fi, and is lower overall, with a better sporty style.
At the same time, Kia EV6 provides remote RWD, remote AWD and high-performance GT versions. The entry-level version is loved by foreign media. It is equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery, provides the best driving distance of 525 kilometers, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 7.2 seconds. In addition, each version of Kia EV6 has ultra-fast charging function, up to 250 kilowatts, and charge the battery from 10% to 80% in less than 20 minutes. These are the reasons why Kia EV6 is on the list. It has to be said that foreign media prefer Korean cars.
Ford Mustang Mach-E tied for fourth place with Kia EV6. It is Ford's first all-electric SUV, positioned as a mid-size SUV, with a domestic price range of 265,000-379,900 yuan. Foreign media believe that the car is a practical and affordable electric car, which provides excellent handling and a large number of standard kits.
At the same time, it does not compromise on speed. The fastest GT version has a maximum power of 488 horsepower, an acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.65 seconds, and a range of 492 kilometers. The long-range version has a range of 619 kilometers. The British media thinks it is very good. In addition, the car is equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 intelligent driving assistance system and SYNC+ intelligent driving infotainment system, which supports L2-level driving assistance functions, which are the reasons for being on the list.
ranked sixth is Porsche Taycan, which is the lowest ranking of Porsche . Porsche Taycan is also Porsche's first pure electric car. It was launched in China in 2019. The current model price range is 888,000-1.808,000 yuan, and it is also the most expensive electric car on the list.
foreign media praise Porsche Taycan is a very good electric car, continuing the sports genes of the Porsche family. It not only has the handling of sports car , but also has extremely fast speed. The maximum power of the Turbo S version is 762 horsepower, the peak torque is 1,050 Nm, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 2.8 seconds. At the same time, the Porsche Taycan also provides four seats and is equipped with air suspension to ensure good riding comfort.
ranks seventh in the Audi e-tron GT, which comes from the J1 platform developed by Audi and Porsche, and is also in line with Porsche Taycan. The starting price of the Audi e-tron GT in the European market is 99,800 euros (about RMB 720,600). The car will also be introduced to the domestic market in the future. The starting price should be slightly lower than that of the Porsche Taycan with the same power system.
. Foreign media also gave high praise to the Audi e-tron GT. They unanimously believe that the car not only has elegant and dynamic design, ultimate riding comfort and powerful power performance, but also has excellent handling, precise steering and excellent grip making it easy to become a track weapon.
In addition, the performance of the Audi e-tron GT was specifically emphasized. The maximum power of the ordinary version reached 523 horsepower, an acceleration time of 100 kilometers was 4.1 seconds, and a maximum range of 298 mile (477 kilometers). At the same time, charging is also a plus point. Charging to 270 kWh at an 800-volt charging station can increase the power from 5% to 80% in 23 minutes, and it can run 100 kilometers in five minutes of charging.
ranks eighth and ninth are Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. These two cars are believed to be the most familiar pure electric cars. They have been sold out in China and are one of the two most popular electric cars by Chinese consumers. In the eyes of foreign media, Tesla Model 3 is a car that can match Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series , and is also the most convincing electric car that can be bought for money.
Tesla Model 3 and Model Y combine minimalist style, space age technology and outrageous power performance, as well as proud three-electric technology and autonomous driving assistance technology, which are the biggest reasons why they are on the list.
is Volkswagen ID.3, which is positioned as a compact SUV, with a price range of 159,888-173,888,000 yuan in the domestic market, and is also Volkswagen's cheapest ID series model so far. In the eyes of foreign media, Volkswagen ID.3 is a powerful family car. Its relatively affordable pricing, satisfactory appearance and excellent comfort are its advantages.
After reading the top ten electric cars in the UK in 2021 selected by the authoritative British automobile magazine "Auto Express", what do you think? Maimaijun’s biggest impression is that none of the Japanese car series is on the list, which shows that to a certain extent, the development of Japanese brands in the pure electric field is still relatively backward. Although Chinese cars are not on the list, the biggest reason is that the British market has not yet been popular. If the models of new domestic car-making forces are put into the British market, one or two models may be on the list.
