FAQs

Q: Why is there no Tesla Model Y in the test?
A: Because it hadn’t arrived in the UK when this test was conducted.

Q: Why is there no Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Tesla Model 3 or Polestar 2 in the test?
A: Because this is a test of electric SUVs, and those cars are hatchbacks, not SUVs.

Q: Why is there no Jaguar i-Pace or Volvo XC40 in the test?
A: Because they’re too expensive to qualify for the £45k price cap applied to the test.

Q: Why is there no Peugeot e-2008, Vauxhall Mokka-e or Hyundai Kona Electric in the test?
A: We didn’t mention it in the video, but as well as having a maximum price threshold for our entrants, we also had a minimum size threshold. Our reasoning was that we were looking for a good ‘family’ SUV, and that being the case, we felt that the entrants should be big enough to deliver. So, we wanted our entrants to be what the motor industry calls ‘C-segment’ cars (roughly the size of a Ford Focus) or bigger, rather than ‘B-segment cars (roughly the size of a Ford Fiesta). For that reason, we set a minimum length measurement of 4.3 metres, which is why the Peugeot, Vauxhall and Hyundai didn’t quite make it, but the Mazda just crept in.

Q: Don’t those monthly BIK tax costs look a bit off?
A: Yes, they do, due to a very unfortunate typo that we didn’t spot until after we published. Where it says ‘monthly’ in relation to the BIK tax costs, it should say ‘annual’. The figures themselves are correct in the original context, but they are labelled incorrectly. For the genuine monthly cost, simply divide by 12.
