But if you can look past a price like $78,900 plus on-road costs for the entry-level version of an electrified BMW X1 (that gets you just one electric motor, the dual-motor iX1 xDrive30 gets two for $84,900 plus on-roads) you’ve clearly got enough money to buy something flashier, like a Porsche. 2024 BMW iX1 eDrive20. Big choppers.

Sharing its basic layout and compact SUV body with the petrol-powered models that hit the market in 2023, the Chery Omoda 5 EV gets a unique front-end design that appears to improve aerodynamics.

But whereas the EV6 is based on a dedicated EV architecture, the Niro relies on an ICE platform to allow for the petrol engine for the hybrid model. Some EVs are known for their acceleration, others (hello Porsche) for their cornering dynamics, and while the Niro won’t steal those headlines, it does all the little important things well.

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.

It’s mind-blowing, if not quite in the re-wire brain territory of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S. If you want to keep the tyre mobility kit and power cable bags in the boot, this also eats into space.

Call me old fashioned, but at this price give me a classy, single colour tan leather cabin – BMW and Lexus do this so well – or black leather with sporty red stitching a la Porsche. You could buy an EV9 Air, then something like a petrol Kia Cerato hatch as a second car with the money saved.
