Outstanding EV Award: Mercedes CLA
“A showcase for the stunning progress made in electric car technology”
"It’s all about range - and the Mercedes CLA offers more of it than any other EV, up to 484 miles per charge. That’s more than some diesels can manage, making the CLA a showcase for the stunning progress made in electric car technology. The sleek, slinky bodywork looks ace, the tech-filled interior is super-cool and it’s great to drive - which is important when you’re going to be covering such impressive distances." - Mat Watson, Car Review Expert
Highly commended: Tesla Model Y
“Not just an outstanding EV - it’s an outstanding car, full stop”
"The Model Y is Tesla’s best-selling car, and once I got behind the minimalist steering wheel of the latest version it was easy to see why. This isn’t just an outstanding EV - it’s an outstanding car, full stop. Tesla’s software is second to none, making route-planning around charging stops a breeze, and even the basic model is stonkingly quick, too." - Mat Watson, Car Review Expert
Highly commended: BMW iX
“BMW’s reputation for building ‘the ultimate driving machine’ holds fast”
"With its avant-garde styling and lounge-like interior you’d be forgiven for expecting the BMW iX to drive like a big, stylish sofa. Not so - this is one of my favourite electric cars to get out on a twisty road. BMW’s reputation for building ‘the ultimate driving machine’ holds fast with the iX - it’s both satisfying in the bends and comfortable over bumps, and the long-range model makes a serious case for itself as a distance cruiser." - Mat Watson, Car Review Expert
