Unlike the recently launched Genesis GV60 – which is built on a bespoke EV architecture – the GV70 Electrified takes the familiar underpinnings of a GV70 running on petrol or diesel and adapts them to EV life. Batteries reduce the boot capacity slightly, but the GV70 Electrified is still a practical machine.

Much has been achieved through fakery – ‘petrol’ engine note and gear shifts included – but there’s been no reason to hide this. A smart cooling system, advanced battery thermal management and an ‘Endurance’ mode – where peak performance is slightly pegged – will extend track time.

Kia Niro EV review: It was only in 2021 that Kia introduced the Niro nameplate to Australia. Whereas the original Niro was available as a regular hybrid , a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and a battery electric vehicle (EV), the new model does without the PHEV option. But even as a hybrid the Niro doesn’t come particularly cheap.

You can, in the genuinely sexy shape of the Peugeot e-2008 — the all-electric version of the brand’s impressive ICE-powered small SUV, having done away with the petrol motor in favour of a small-ish battery and a front-mounted electric motor. The 50kWh lithium-ion battery will deliver a WLTP driving range of 328km.

It’s big, boxy and stuffed full of tech, and — in its flagship GT-Line grade — is faster than most petrol-powered hot hatches. It gets the same battery and powertrain as the GT-Line, but delivers slower acceleration because it misses out on the flagship’s “Acceleration Boost” function. A 77.4kWh battery delivers a claimed 470km range.

Not as aesthetically successful (to this reviewer’s eyes) as the larger EQS, the EQE certainly looks like the bulk of its exterior design was done in Benz’s wind tunnel. The high voltage battery gets a separate and class-leading ten-year, 250,000km warranty. This guarantees over 70 percent battery health over that time.

None of this quartet is cheap, but all are towards the value end of the EV market. One oversight is the warranty, which is an undernourished four years or 80,000km (double that for the high voltage battery). Our car also had a bigger battery, which adds $5000. Sure, there are cheaper options. Plus it had two option packs.

You know, the small SUV we panned at its July 2021 launch for its “poor value proposition” Our review , in short, suggested you’d be almost out of your mind to buy one. 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.

Options are very limited for super-breeders needing more than five seats – although the Kia EV9 due late in 2023 will provide a tantalising option – but a huge advantage of going EV (if built on an electric vehicle-only platform) is roomier and smarter interior packaging compared to petrol and diesel vehicles.

A mid-spec EV9 Earth is around $120,000 in the traffic, while the entry-level Air is a comparatively cheap $107,000. Anyway, the GT-Line has dual motors, all-wheel-drive, 283kW/700Nm and 505km range (WLTP) from its lardy 99.8kWh battery. The option of the longer range battery in the base level would be appreciated too.
