Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo at lowest ride height 466km: Genesis GV60 AWD, $110,700 Not cheap, but the Genesis GV60 compact SUV with a motor over each axle and 77.4kWh battery is refined, fast, comfortable and laden down with gear. Not cheap, but a 95kWh battery, 446km range and 150kW DC fast charging are wins.

The Audi e-Tron GT , Kia EV6 GT and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N would be at the top of that list. The Atto 3 is charmingly if idiosyncratically styled, has a decent equipment list, a range between recharges as much as 400km in the real world, acceptable performance from its 150kW e-motor and a comfy if not especially dynamic ride/handling balance.

They’re not going to be cheap. Such prices comfortably eclipse the $121,990 Volvo Australia currently asks for the XC90 Recharge Ultimate PHEV. The brand’s two full EVs already on sale here are the XC40 Recharge from $72,990 and C40 Recharge from $74,990. Will the EX90 sticker price be a charge too far?
