In this post, we want to answer your question by showing you the models that, in our opinion, you should consider if you want to acquire an electric vehicle.

List of the 10 most outstanding electric cars of 2020

Hyundai Kona Electric

The Kona is a well-known model from the Hyundai brand. Perhaps because we can find it with engines of any type: gasoline, diesel, hybrid, and 100% electric. Regarding the electric version, you can choose between two versions with different range and power.

The lower range Kona has 136 HP of power and a 39 kWh battery, reaching 289 kilometers of range. The upper range has greater power (204 HP) and a 64 kWh battery, allowing you to cover more kilometers without stopping to recharge. Specifically, with this version, you can enjoy up to 449 kilometers of range.

35,000 euros

Kia e-Niro

The Kia e-Niro is gaining traction in the electric car market. The 100% electric model from KIA has become a priority for those users looking for a compact SUV at a good price.

Like the Kona, the e-Niro also has two versions with different specifications. The first version has 136 HP, a 39 kWh battery, and 289 kilometers of range; and a second upper version with 204 HP, a 64 kWh battery, and 455 kilometers of range.

30,000 euros

Nissan Leaf

What can we say about the classic Nissan Leaf? It is the great veteran of electric cars and that has a significant advantage: it has improved upon previous versions to achieve a compact model that offers great performance.

The current version has 150 HP of power and a 40 kWh battery. Relatively lower than the KIA e-Niro or the Hyundai Kona, reaching 270 kilometers of range.

26,000 euros

Opel Corsa-e

It is the result of the sixth generation of the iconic Corsa model from Opel. It features an electric motor of 136 HP powered by a 50 kWh battery, achieving 330 kilometers on a single charge.

29,000 euros

Peugeot e-208

It is the new electric version from the Peugeot brand. It shares the same characteristics as the Opel Corsa-e: a 136 HP motor, a 50 kWh battery, and 330 kilometers of range.

30,100 euros

Renault Zoe

Like the Nissan Leaf, the Renault Zoe electric is one of the best-selling models in the world. You can find two versions, the entry-level and the upper one.

• Renault Zoe Life R110 is the first of them: it has a 40 kWh battery, 110 HP of power, and a range of 300 kilometers.
• Renault Zoe Life R135 is the upper range: a 50 kWh battery, 135 HP of power, and a range of 395 kilometers without stopping to recharge.

29,000 euros

Seat Mii Electric

If you are looking for the cheapest electric car of 2020, this is it. The SEAT Mii Electric has a starting price of around 18,000€, making it a very interesting option if you mainly use the car for urban trips.

It is equipped with an 83 HP motor and a 36.8 kWh battery, offering a maximum range of 260 kilometers. A figure that is too low compared to other options on the market. Therefore, it is not a vehicle designed for long trips.

18,000 euros

Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X is a big deal. It is only an option if your budget exceeds 90,000 euros, something within reach of few. If you have that budget, this car is amazing!

Like the previous ones, it has two differentiated versions: the Model X Long Range and the Model X Performance.

• Model X Long Range: 100 kWh battery, 421 HP of power, and a range of 507 kilometers.
• Model X Performance: 100 kWh battery, 610 HP of power, and a range of 395 kilometers on a single charge.

Audi e-tron

It is Audi’s first electric SUV.

• Audi e-tron 50 quattro: 71 kWh battery, 313 HP of power, and a range of 333 kilometers.
• Audi e-tron 55 quattro: 95 kWh battery, 408 HP of power, and a range of 401 kilometers on a single charge.

73,000 euros

Mazda MX-30

 

The Mazda MX-30 is the first 100% electric model from Mazda. If it doesn’t sound familiar, there is an explanation: it is not yet in circulation as it is in the production phase and is expected to hit the Spanish market after the summer of 2020.

It features a modern design in line with Mazda’s characteristic style. With an electric motor of 143 HP powered by a battery of only 35.5 kWh that grants it only 200 kilometers of range. These figures are too low considering the other alternatives and the price.
