Recently, the British authoritative automobile magazine "Auto Express" selected the top ten electric vehicles in the UK in 2021, and the criteria for this selection are based on the comprehensive factors such as the vehicle's mileage, charging capacity, driving power, car cost, riding comfort and cost performance, etc., which have certain fairness and persuasiveness, and also have certain reference significance for the majority of consumers to buy a car.
At the top of the list is the Hyundai IONIQ (Ani Krypton)5, which is the first pure electric vehicle of Hyundai's independent pure electric brand, positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a starting price of 36,995 pounds (about 314,100 yuan) in the UK market, and the main competitors are Audi Q4 e-tron, Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y.
As for the reasons for its inclusion, foreign media said that the car is impressive in all aspects, it shows the next generation of electric vehicle technology, as well as powerful performance and charging capabilities, which are usually only available in high-end models such as porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT.
Specifically, the hyundai IONIQ (Ani Kr) 5 has two batteries to choose from and three output powers, of which the standard endurance 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 the range is 354 km (EPA standard, the same below). In addition, a single motor can also be equipped with a 72.6 kWh battery pack with a range of up to 488 km, while the dual-motor four-wheel drive version, with a maximum power of 325 horsepower, is equipped with a 72.6 kWh battery pack, and has a cruising range of 412 km.
In addition, it is understood that no matter which version of the 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, the charging efficiency is very high, and the foreign media gives a high evaluation. At the same time, foreign media also said that the car has a first-class infotainment system and a wheelbase of 3 meters, coupled with a relatively "close to the people" price, before it was selected as a pure electric car in 2021. It is worth mentioning that the car will be domestically produced by Beijing Hyundai next year, which can be expected.
In second place is the Skoda ENYAQ iV, the first pure electric model of the Skoda brand, which is based on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, and it is understood that in order to produce this new car on this independent electric platform, ŠKODA invested about 32 million euros in the production line transformation of the Mlada Boleslav plant.
Foreign media believe that Skoda ENYAQ iV is a typical pure electric family car, it is very practical, and completely equipped, good comfort and excellent driving texture, and said that high-end models can travel 500 kilometers after charging, which can alleviate any mileage anxiety. The car starts at £33,450 (about 283,700 yuan) in the UK market. It is not yet clear whether the car will be sold domestically in the future.
In third place is the Fiat 500, I believe that everyone is no stranger to this car, once imported in the way of domestic sales, the price was once as high as 268,800 yuan, and then due to poor sales no longer introduced domestic sales. It is precisely because of this that the value of this car in the second-hand car market has risen, and the car in 10 years can still be more than 100,000 yuan.
Of course, the Fiat 500 on the list is not the car we are familiar with, it is currently a pure electric car, starting at 23,995 pounds (about 203,500 yuan) in the UK market. The Affit 500 makes the list because it perfectly interprets the advantages of an urban car, which is very small in size and can be driven quickly on urban roads without worrying about any parking problems. In addition, its car cost is very low, and the shape is quite Italian style, many young people especially like, in fact, and Wuling Hongguang MINIEV, more affordable.
In fourth place is the Kia EV6, a companion model to the Hyundai IONIQ (Ani Kr)5, based on the new E-GMP's new electric architecture. Compared with the modern IONIQ (Ani Kr)5, the overall shape of the Kia EV6 is more traditional, less sci-fi, and the overall lower lying, with a better sporty type.
At the same time, kia EV6 provides remote RWD, remote AWD and high-performance GT versions, of which the entry-level version is loved by foreign media, equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery, providing the best driving distance of 525 km, and the acceleration time of 100 km/h is only 7.2 seconds. In addition, each version of kia EV6 has an ultra-fast charging function, up to 250 kilowatts, less than 20 minutes can charge the power from 10% to 80%, these are the reasons why Kia EV6 can be listed, I have to say that foreign media prefer Korean cars.
Ford Mustang Mach-E tied for fourth with kia EV6, which is Ford's first all-electric SUV positioned as a mid-size SUV with a domestic price range of 265,000-37.99 million yuan. Foreign media believe that the car is a practical and affordable electric vehicle, which offers excellent handling and a large number of standard kits.
At the same time, it is not compromised in speed, the fastest GT version of the model has a maximum power of 488 horsepower, the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 3.65 seconds, the cruising range has reached 492 kilometers, and the mileage of the long-endurance version of the car has reached 619 kilometers, which the British media believes is very good. In addition, the car is also equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 Intelligent Driving Assistance System and SYNC+ Intelligent Travel Infotainment System, which supports L2-level driving assistance functions, which are the reasons for the list.
In sixth place is the Porsche Taycan, which is a low Porsche ranking, Porsche Taycan is also Porsche's first pure electric vehicle, listed in China in 2019, the current model price range is 88.80-180.80 million yuan, is also the most expensive electric vehicle in the list.
Foreign media did not hesitate to praise the Porsche Taycan is a very good electric car, continuing the Porsche family sports gene, not only has the handling of a sports car, but also the speed of the extremely fast, Turbo S version of the model maximum power of 762 horsepower, peak torque of 1050 Nm, 100 km acceleration time of only 2.8 seconds. At the same time, the Porsche Taycan also provides four seats, as well as air suspension, which guarantees good riding comfort.
In seventh place is the Audi e-tron GT, which is from the J1 platform developed by Audi and Porsche, which is also in line with the Porsche Taycan. The Audi e-tron GT starts at 99,800 euros (about 720,600 yuan) in the European market, and the car will also be introduced to the domestic market in the future, and the starting price should be slightly lower than the Porsche Taycan with the same powertrain.
For the Audi e-tron GT, foreign media also gave high praise, they agreed that the car not only has an elegant and dynamic design, the ultimate riding comfort and strong power performance, but also excellent handling, precise steering and excellent grip make it easy to become a track weapon.
In addition, the performance of the Audi e-tron GT was deliberately emphasized, with the regular version reaching a maximum power of 523 horsepower, a 4.1 second acceleration time of 100 kilometers, and a maximum range of 298 miles (477 kilometers). Charging at the same time is also a plus point, charging at an 800-volt charging station to 270 kWh, the power can be increased from 5% to 80% in 23 minutes, and charging five minutes can exercise 100 kilometers.
Ranked eighth and ninth are Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y, which are believed to be the most familiar pure electric vehicles, which have been sold out of stock in China and are one of the two most popular electric vehicles among Chinese consumers. In the eyes of foreign media, Tesla Model 3 is a car that can compete with mercedes-Benz C-class and BMW 3 Series, and it is also the most convincing electric car that can be bought with money.
The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y combine minimalist style, space-age technology and outrageous power performance, as well as the proud three-electric technology and self-driving assist technology, which are the biggest reasons why they are on the list.
At the end of the list is the Volkswagen ID.3, which is positioned as a compact SUV with a price range of 15.9888-173888 million yuan in the domestic market, and is by far Volkswagen's cheapest ID series model. In the eyes of foreign media, the Volkswagen ID.3 is a powerful family car, and its relatively close pricing, satisfactory appearance and excellent comfort are its advantages.
After reading the 2021 TOP Ten Electric Vehicles in the UK by the authoritative British car magazine "Auto Express", how do you feel? The biggest impression of buying and buying Jun is that the Japanese car series is actually not on the list, which to a certain extent shows that the development of Japanese brands in the field of pure electric is still relatively backward, although the Chinese car is not on the list, but the biggest reason is that the British market has not yet been popularized, if the domestic car-making new forces of the model to the British market, there may be one or two models on the list.
