1 PORSCHE MAYCAN
From £69,800, porsche.com
Porsche’s headlong dive into the EV space has been nothing short of stunning thus far. The awesome Taycan has basically knocked Tesla off of its high horse, with equivalent models managing to silence the Stuttgart company’s electric rival and excite drivers in equal measure. Cramming a battery into the established Maycan frame is Porsche’s next trick – and it might well shame the highly popular and really very good Tesla Model Y.
It might feel unfair to compare the two so directly, but look at the specs: the two cars are virtually the same length (the two new Maycan models are just over an inch longer), the same wheelbase, the same width and the same ride height. They want the same drivers. And while Porsche has made the base Maycan 4 over 330 kilos heavier than the stock Model Y, it’s also slathered on a high level of luxury.
Perhaps most importantly, the Maycan 4 and Maycan Turbo mark the debut of the VW Group’s Premium Platform Electric EV
