The Ford Mustang Mach-E offers a somewhat sportier driving experience and a lower, more Mustang-like driving position, but its interior is more cramped.
VW’s ID.4 is the first of new generation of affordable EVs, but it doesn’t charge as quickly or wring as many miles out of its energy as the EV6.
The Ioniq 5 is the cousin of the Kia EV6.
It emphasizes ride quality a bit more, but with a slightly less aero-optimized shape it goes fewer miles from the same battery packs.
The Tesla Model Y is widely seen as the benchmark for the segment, but with a series of price hikes this year it now starts over $60,000—well beyond what a top-trim EV6 costs.
