Best electric vehicle range
With more car makers getting behind battery power, ranges are consistently moving upwards from where they were just a year or two ago.
Of the upcoming electric vehicles, the BMW i4 looks set to possess the highest car range, with approximately 600km. Meanwhile, the Tesla Cybertruck has 800km, meaning it could have the longest legs of the electric utes.
Best electric ute
We think the Rivian R1T could be the best of the upcoming electric models. It's refreshing to see designers and engineers take a different approach to car design and the result is a ute with plenty of storage and useful cubby boxes, plus it should be a bit of a weapon off-road.
Best electric off-roader
It's hard to say which is going to be the best, but working from the confirmed specs, the Tesla Cybertruck is obviously going to be up there, pun intended. It has 16-inches of ground clearance, which for a stock factory model is madness.
Fastest charging upcoming EV
Only a few manufacturers have announced recharge times, so it's hard to say for sure. But the VW ID.3, with the right charger, is capable of some pretty blistering top-up times. The BMW iX3 also has the capacity for some quick recharges.
Best new electric car for families
If you're buying a family car, you'll likely want:
- Space
- Practicality
- Safety
- Affordability
Taking all those points into consideration, you'll probably want to check out cars like the BMW iX3 and the Polestar 2.
Best-looking electric car
Opinions and tastes vary, but the Peugeot e-208 ticks all the boxes in our books. It's a gorgeous little car and fabulously classy. It's also been clocking up gongs across the globe and it just seems to have pleasing proportions and styling.
Most affordable electric car
Again, this is highly theoretical, but the MG ZS EV is currently the cheapest electric car on sale and it looks likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
Best hybrid off-roader
The Toyota LandCruiser 300 PHEV and the Land Rover Defender P400e are likely going to be duking over this hotly contested crown.
Most affordable hybrid car
Again, this is pure speculation, but the MG HS PHEV will surely sell at a very affordable price.
Hybrid with the best electric range
Of the numbers we have, it looks like the MG HS PHEV and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV have the best electric-only ranges.
Most fuel-efficient hybrid car
Again, this is just for the upcoming models we have the figures for. But it looks like the Volvo XC40 Recharge PHEV, which uses just 2.2L/100km combined is one of the most frugal.
