BYD have big plans for Europe, with up to three factories in Hungary, Turkey and maybe even Spain.

Thomas from Autogefühl tests the Volvo EX60 SUV in Spain and compared it to rivals. The EX60 is Volvo's long range 800V rivals to the BMW iX3 and GLC EQ.

Skoda released new Epic.

The ID.3 Neo is still a solid all-rounder in Europe, but the competition has shifted fast. Chinese EVs like the Atto 3, Leapmotor B05 or MG4 now cover pretty much every angle of this segment.

We recently bought an Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica and one of the driving reasons for it was because it was a lot more fun to drive than we expected. Initially it was meant to be a shared car for my girlfriend and I but she likes it so much that I'm looking again into getting myself an EV and trying to find something else that's fun similar to our Alfa. Of course the Veloce exists with an additional 130HP but there are things about the Junior I don't like as much, the Stellantis cost-savings are apparent which was fine for a 27kCHF car but the Veloce goes for around 42kCHF at which point I can get a BMW iX1M or even a used i4, stretch the budget slightly further and I can even get a used E-tron GT.

I've driven a few really comfortable EVs that have all the benefits of being quiet, smooth, etc. like the E-tron but I'm not as experienced with the fun side of them, and I'd love to hear some recommendations for preferably European EVs that fit that requirement. The Q4 E-tron also looks pretty solid in terms of specs, especially the 55 quattro but I'm not sure if it can be categorized as fun. Of course I'll test drive a few before buying but wondering if I'm missing any overlooked options, I heard good things about the Mach-E and would be willing to consider it if it weren't for the giant touchscreen, as well as the I-Pace but it has its own issues/risks.

Moving to Vienna this summer and trying to narrow down our family EV. Budget is roughly €30–50k. Family of 4 with two kids, occasional camping/road trips around Austria/Europe, and likely 5–8k miles/year. We’ll probably have access to charging at work but may not install home charging immediately.

Currently deciding between:

• Kia EV5
• Skoda Enyaq 85
• VW ID.7 Tourer
• Renault Scenic E-Tech
• Peugeot E-5008

Priorities:

• family practicality/cargo space
• comfort for road trips
• reasonable efficiency/range
• good ownership experience/reliability
• manageable size for Vienna parking/garages
• decent resale value

Not too worried about ultimate performance. More interested in which one people actually enjoy living with long-term in Europe/Austria.
