EV reviews
In-depth reviews of every major electric vehicle on sale in Australia.
BMW i4 review: the driver's sedan of the electric segment
BMW's i4 eDrive35 undercuts the Luxury Car Tax threshold and delivers the sharpest steering in its class. But a 4-star ANCAP rating and a tight rear seat make it a specific pick, not a default one.
Polestar 2 review: the RWD switch it needed all along
Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor review: MY24's rear-drive conversion, class-leading 659 km range, Google-built cabin, and where it sits against Model 3 and i4 in 2026.
BYD Sealion 7 review: the Model Y rival that's eating into Tesla's lead
BYD's mid-size electric SUV is now Australia's second best-selling EV. Six AU reviews in, here's whether the Sealion 7 Premium earns the hype against the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV5 and XPeng G6.
MG 4 review: the value benchmark for small EV hatches
MG's rear-drive electric hatch has rewritten the entry-level EV playbook in Australia. Three years in, with a 10-year warranty and sharper rivals on every side, does the MG 4 still earn the recommendation?
BYD Seal review: the Tesla Model 3 alternative that actually works
BYD's electric sedan undercuts the Tesla Model 3 by $15,000 with a longer warranty and a better-equipped cabin. We focus on the Premium — the volume seller.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 review: is the price still right in 2026?
Hyundai's Ioniq 5 is one of the most premium-feeling EVs at the price — but a price rise and a simplified lineup raise the value question. We focus on the entry RWD.
Kia EV6 review: the value-pick Ioniq 5 sibling, refreshed
Kia's EV6 shares its bones with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 but undercuts it on warranty and price. The 2026 update sharpens the case. We focus on the Air RWD.
Tesla Model 3 review: the smarter Tesla to buy?
The Model 3 is the same powertrain as the Model Y in a tighter sedan body — and most reviewers agree it's the better drive. We focus on the RWD volume seller.
Tesla Model Y review: still the default electric SUV in 2026?
Australia's #1 selling EV has had a quiet facelift. We focus on the rear-wheel drive — the volume seller — and ask whether it still earns the badge against newer rivals.
BYD Atto 3 review: still the value EV to beat?
BYD's small electric SUV launched as Australia's cheapest five-seat EV. Nearly four years on, with sharper competition than ever, does the Atto 3 still hold up?
