Procrastinating over which SUV EV to go for under the work salary sacrifice scheme. Not huge amounts in it cost wise between a few options.

Ix3 M sport pro
I pace HSE
Q4 45 Quattro black edition

Or potentially an XC60 PIH for about £40 more per month.

What would you go for and why? Am I missing something better? Didn’t really like the iX

Thanks all. We are coming from a Skoda Kodiaq which is a big beast really, don’t need quite as much space but do like the raised position etc.

We live semi rural so the lack of AWD in the iX3 does put me off a bit and would need to at least factor in some winter tyres.

Ipace seems to win lots of votes on the driving experience, but the older tech, real world range and charging speed do put off a little.

I quite like the iX but probably a little too big and budget would only just stretch to the 40x engine and standard sport spec without any extras.

Q6 looks out of price range, but not yet available on the work scheme (tusker)

I sat in an EV6 but my head was touching the roof, I’m tall but only 6”2 so it must have been the panoramic roof.
Shame as I liked it otherwise.

Ipace is getting quite favourable comments here. I did have range concerns but my longest usual journey is a 150 mile round trip which I think almost every EV can handle. Anything longer is properly planned and probably included overnight stays etc.

Wish the iX3 was AWD to be honest.

Wife doesn’t like the Tesla look, so that’s out.

Q6 is available to order via Tusker now, but showing 45 week order time which doesn’t work for us.

Might take a look at the C40 / XC40 this week, but suspect they are a little small.
