The iPace is an SUV that does do the throwing around country roads bit even better than a TVR.. Shame it's too small because thus far no one has made a more dynamic, driver focussed EV SUV - other than perhaps the Lotus Eletre, which I'm guessing is very out of budget and also still too small.

Looking at the recent Macan EV reviews, Porsche has reset the bar!

I want to try one! And the Lotus too

I'm struggling with the looks of both of them. Whichbis why I settled on the new Audi Q6, which shares the Macan's PPE underpinnings.

The Lotus is a bit bold.. although the styling queues are now long term Lotus staples I guess. Just a bit weird to see a Lotus SUV in general I think!

The Macan just looks like a Macan to my eye, looks quite good imo

The Q6 looks great too

Thanks! I think the design is pretty conventional (ICE), but I quite like that. To my eyes many of the EV's are trying to hard to look different, forsaking style!

One thing I do love about the Q6 is that it does look like quite an aggressively styled traditional German SUV, whereas the others tend to focus more on being smooth/slippery for aero drag efficiency. I note the drag co-efficient of the Q6 is still very good, so they did an excellent job of aero vs style.
