Mechanically the Kona Electric benefits from the same great technology as the Kia e-Niro, so it鈥檚 quick and quiet, fast and cheap to run, while also delivering dependable range. You might only need to charge the Hyundai and the Kia once a week, depending on the distance of your daily commute. With similar tech, it鈥檚 practicality where the Hyundai loses out, although it doesn鈥檛 trail by much. The i3 has been a bastion for the electric car revolution, but it鈥檚 had to hand the baton over to fresher opposition now. However, the BMW is still a great electric vehicle that offers a more interesting personality than its test rivals. It鈥檚 the best car here for cities, is just as quick in i3s form (if not as comfortable as the Korean duo) and feels upmarket. You have to pay for it, though, and get less in return. Tekna. It has a claimed range of 239 miles and 212bhp, so more performance than the regular car. It only comes in top-spec trim.

Editor鈥檚 note: This review was written in February 2016 about the 2016 Porsche Macan, but little has changed with this year鈥檚 model. To see what鈥檚 new for 2017, click here, or check out a side-by-side comparison of the two model years. Porsche has been more than just a 鈥渃ar鈥?maker for years, since the introduction of its wildly popular Cayenne midsize SUV. Smaller doesn鈥檛 mean cheap, though, and the Macan doesn鈥檛 exactly have an apples-to-apples competitor, which makes it an interesting little SUV. 69,455 鈥?closer to the cost of midsize coupe-inspired SUVs such as the BMW X6 and Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG Coupe. The Macan鈥檚 resemblance to Porsche鈥檚 sports cars helps its curb appeal. The rear is wide and curvy, like the 911, and its headlight styling is borrowed from the Porsche 918 hybrid supercar. The tires are staggered in width, with wider rubber in back giving the Macan a poised stance 鈥?as well as handling that鈥檚 more similar to a sports car than a family SUV. 1,650) on our Macan S measured 20 inches and wore Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires sized 265/45R20 up front and a sports-coupe-like 295/40R20 in back.

Just because only one Macan is called 鈥淭urbo鈥?doesn鈥檛 mean the others aren鈥檛 turbocharged. Under the hood of a Macan S is a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 making 340 hp, mated to a seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The engine is extremely well-mannered for a turbocharged engine, with power delivery so finely tuned and linear that most people won鈥檛 be able to tell the difference between it and a high-horsepower, naturally aspirated V-6. Acceleration is quick in the S, but not pin-you-to-your-seat fast; if that鈥檚 what you鈥檙e looking for, check out the 400-hp Macan Turbo. Still, Porsche鈥檚 signature exhaust symphony burbles through the tailpipes and sounds strikingly similar to any one of Porsche鈥檚 coupes. The standard exhaust system adjusts to deliver a more noticeable growl during higher engine loads and in Sport mode. Not all鈥檚 good in the neighborhood: There鈥檚 a slight lag in initial accelerator response when accelerating from a stop, even in Sport mode.

The delay isn鈥檛 very Porsche-like, and it鈥檚 annoying when you want to move from a stop with vigor. One area in which there isn鈥檛 much delay is the seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic transmission鈥檚 shifts. This Porsche Doppelkupplung transmission shifts unbelievably quickly, with 911-like levels of shifting action in automatic mode and from the steering-wheel-mounted paddles. Given the Macan鈥檚 size, its EPA-estimated gas mileage is unimpressive at 17/23/19 mpg city/highway/combined. That鈥檚 closer to the larger BMW X6 xDrive35i (18/24/20 mpg) and GLE450 AMG Coupe (17/23/20 mpg) than it is to the X4鈥檚 19/27/22 mpg and the Evoque鈥檚 21/30/24 mpg. The Macan鈥檚 sport-tuned suspension is never uncomfortable like the rough-riding BMW, though I wouldn鈥檛 call the Macan 鈥渃omfortable鈥? our test car had standard coil springs and fixed-firmness shock absorbers. But a slightly busy ride at highway speeds is a completely fair tradeoff for how well the Macan handles, and a little body motion in aggressive cornering doesn鈥檛 take away too much from its dynamic personality.
