These are the new EVs you can get for less than the price of a new Tesla
With Tesla cutting the prices of its electric models, we look at the other EVs on the market for a similar price
Tesla has recently announced huge price cuts across its range, with its popular Model 3 and Model Y now available at up to £8,000 less than they were a few days ago.
It’s brought the price of an entry-level Model 3 down to £42,990, which suddenly makes it seem decent value compared to many rivals. But what other new electric cars can you get for less than the now-reduced price of a Tesla? Let’s take a look.
Kia Niro EV
Kia’s Niro EV might not have the level of allure as a Tesla, but if you value ease of use, comfort and practicality, this electric crossover delivers. A second-generation model only arrived in dealers in the second half of 2022, bringing with it a more modern design and a classy and advanced interior.
Equipped with a 64kWh battery, the Niro EV’s 285-mle range isn’t far behind the 305 miles you get from an entry-level Model 3, while offering way more in useful boot and passenger space. Prices for a Niro EV start from £36,795, but this budget will stretch to a top-spec ‘4’ model (costing from £42,495) that comes with high-end equipment like a head-up display, ventilated and heated front seats and remote parking assistance.
Skoda Enyaq iV
The Skoda Enyaq iV arrived in 2021 as the firm’s first bespoke electric model, and became an instant success. Offering a classy and elegant design, it’s also well-built and offers a vast amount of interior space, more than any model on this list.
