Best Electric Hatchbacks

Cupra Born
With a long range, unique styling, generous standard equipment and European appeal, the new Cupra Born is quite possibly the easiest electric vehicle to recommend in the current zero-emissions market.
But with a sharp price that hovers tantalisingly close to equivalent petrol-powered premium small hatchbacks, perhaps even more exciting is its indication that EV price parity is on the horizon.

Nissan Leaf
Nissan’s Leaf is starting to feel its age, but the new e+ has turned back the clock – for a hefty price.

Polestar 2
The Polestar 2 doesn’t quite go to the full extent of Muji’s ‘no-brand’ policy, but it certainly does inject the market with competitive quality, performance and design without shouting about it. Polestar’s first Australian offering is the true quiet achiever.

Mercedes-AMG EQS
EQS blasts Mercedes-AMG into a brilliant electric era.
