But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap. There’s also a system called Remote Smart Park Assist, which allows the car to be driven forward or backwards slowly via the remote keyfob.

Model 3 vs EV6 vs Polestar 2 vs Ioniq 5: There’s a sub-$80K sweet spot in the electric car market – and it’s not relying on price alone to tempt buyers.

We, and every other car reviewer with a basic grasp of the market, knew this fee for a small EV with paltry 200km (WLTP) range was laughable.

On entering the car, this orb glows like an intricately weaved electrical hob (if you choose orange/red as your ambient light). Turn the car on and this entertaining sphere rolls around to reveal your drive-by-wire gear selector. Not what we’ve come to expect from dedicated EV-platform cars. A brace of 12.3-inch

Australians are increasingly considering an EV as their next family car, but just how practical is the current crop on our market, and do they represent good value for money?
