Electric range battle - BMW vs Porsche vs VW vs Zeekr vs Nio | Stockholm to Idre
it's time for our biggest test yet we're going to test the five most popular fully electric tourers on the market and we're going to do a long range test we're going to drive over 900 km from Stockholm to Idre and back and Idre is one of Sweden's most popular skur Resorts so this is a winter test welcome to its only electric let's start with looking at the lineup the first car in lineup is the car from Volkswagen the id7 GTX tour in Kings red The second one is the Zeekr 001 shooting brake long range privilege third one the BMW I5 eDrive40 tourer or touring. This is a bit smaller this is the Nio et5 touring and the last one in the lineup is the Porsche Taycon 4S Sport Turismo so to be able to do this test I need additional drivers. Let's start presenting the drivers Matias this is Matias Matthew we need to shake hands you're going to pick a key and this is the car you're going to start with. We're going to drive.. no, you did that by purpose you got the Porsche okay so the Taycan is yours next one Marcus the the guy with the summer jacket it's actually winter outside but yeah pick a key pick a key. The Nio the Nio the Nio next one. This is Dennis hello Dennis welcome to to the cold
cold weather here uh you're going to pick a car which one are you hoping for the you got the BMW, yep and the last one I think you know this guy already this is my brother and companion should you or me take it uh you you you take it, I take the rest let's see then I got the Zeekr the Zeekr so for me is actually the id7 so the rules now is that we're going to drive the cars all the way to Idre then stay over the night and then dve back home you already know that but you don't so there's a certain rules we're going to set the temperatures to 20°C all cars are fully charged almost the Zeekr has 90% but we're going to add that to calculation yeah we're going to drive on eco mode 20°C as I said and uh stick to the speed limits and we're going to drive in caravan we're going to change cars uh so everyone is going to drive every car that means that the consumption will not be affected by a single driver so that's fair and square and on top of that we're also going to shift the leading car every time so we don't have have any drag loss or difference in that manner too then this is the way we will do a as consistent test as possible and we will figure out the total range the consumption we will also involve some soft feelings so I'm going to we're going to talk about this uh tomorrow how you feel about every car and pick a favorite I think that's that's all yeah are we ready to start yeah yeah let's go let's go let's go [Music] [Music] [Music] the first stretch and I'm sat in the id7 GTX tour this is the new tour from Volkswagen fully electric of course and it's all-wheel drive so they have put the newly developed big motor at the rear delivering 286 horsepower at the front a smaller induction motor combined output 250 KW or 3 40 horsepower 560 Nm of torque it does 0 to 100 in 5.5 seconds with a top speed of 180 kph it's a fairly big car I mean with a boot capacity of 605 L it's really good you can also add the tow hitch with a toe capacity of 1.4 tons and it's a very Square shaped boot so you can really fit in a lot let's check this out this is amazing guys if you see it here one two small cabin bags one giant bag one midsize two three four midsize bags and this was really easy to fit in and it's with the floor taken away so this is with the maximum space available it has a really big back seat so a lot of leg room good thigh support and in general a generous back seat so this is a really Pleasant car for long trips but even for four or five grown-ups cuz it's big it's comfortable and it's fairly silent so it's a nice car to drive even if it has the active dampers as this one has uh I'm driving on eco now it's a comy setup it is not too stiff if you want it to be a bit more stiff and less body roll you can just crank up uh the actual stiffness of the DCC so the DCC settings is is divided into 12 different levels so when inste it to Eco it's more to the softer side more as a comfy setup but all in all I like this car I think ID7 is a great package it's by far the best package yet from Volkswagen when it comes to fully electric and when it comes to the interior I think it has a good quality good quality materials a lot more soft touch better Plastics better put together than the id4 and id5 for instance this is a better car so it has the new bigger battery pack with a gross cap capacity of 91kWh and a net capacity of 86 and that's why the regular version not the GTX version really has a great range I think you can get it with up to 700 km if you go for the rear whe Drive version with the big batter pack that's really good this one though since it's four-wheel drive and GTX the most powerful version it has a range of 578 km the elevation difference between the starting point and the end goal is 600M so that will actually consume a lot more energy that together with the cold weather can be a nightmare for electric cars and that's what we're testing today the way back though will give us some energy back since we are coting downwards the last thing about this car is the charging the charging is actually fairly good at at this car it's a 200 kW of top speed and it's a 400 volt system so 200 kW is anyway the most you can crank out of the standard ccs2 connectivity and charge speed so it charges from 10 to 80% in 28 minutes home charging 11 KW three face support hopefully at least one of the cars will be able to reach the end goal 459 km in this conditions we will see about that let's do a check in we have been traveling just about 90 km the roads are a bit damped but let's check status let's start with the Porsche Matthew what's your status status in the tyan so we have 77% left in the battery and we are the consumption is 22.8 kWh/100km okay 22.8 yes okay great thank you let's move on to the BMW and Dennis so the BMW has 73% in charge and the consumption is uh 22kWh/100km so a bit lower than the Porsche actually so how does it feel you I know that you you really love BMWs is this your you you still like it yeah it it drives really nice it's uh quiet and uh a really comfortable car to sit in the next car let us see the Neo Marcus y uh I have 75% of battery left and the average consumption is 21.4 21.4 okay so very even consumption for all the cars yet and you had some trouble with your autopilot didn't you yeah because of the weather the getting covered by the rain uh and so the car wants to shut down and uh do the emergency break okay that's why like five times already so that's why I saw your emergency lights turning on cuz so the cameras was too dirty to to continue using the autopilot so the fourth one that's the Zekre Emre how it's going for you it's going well uh amazing car uh but we I'm at 25.7 kWh/100km in [Music] consumption um oh that's high yes it's a big car no it's pretty high and state of charge is 68% but we started with 90% right on this car yes that's right yeah so should be 78% I guess I'm the last one then I have 78% state of charge left my average consumption is actually the lowest in the test yet 19.0 kWh/100km that's you said that you had like 26 in the Zeekr so that's a
big difference let's see how this ends up but it says that I have a remaining range of like 350 km so let's see about that okay thank you guys we're soon Gonna Change cars so be back then I'm in the Zeekr 001 this is the privilege version so the highest stream level I have actually reviewed this car full review also range tested it so if you want to know more about it in detail I put the links up here for the full review so don't miss that one out brief specs about the car as I said it's the privilege version privilege gives you the full equipment so you had a headup display you have the Yamaha sound system which is a really nice sound system by the way it's four-wheel drive it has massage seats and also air suspension so that's some of the things you get with the privileg version It's maxed out you have everything you need the car itself measures 495 CM so it's among the pack the same size as almost every car in this test I think the longest one is the BMW with 506 cm so this is 10 cm shorter than that one and some of you may say that like this is not a proper touring or wagon car I agree but at the same time disagree it's a shooting brake they call it a shooting brake it's somewhere in between but it still has 539 L of boot capacity and like 25 at the front so we small Frunk but it's still practical I've loaded it and this is the capacity inor 539 L with a very small Frank no place for a bag this is how it looks one small bag one midsize another midsize two more midsizers for midsize two cabin bags and one big Bera so this is actually the same amount as I was able to squeeze into the BMW and the id7 that's impressive despite having like 60 L less boot capacity in real life in real practicality it is actually not that much smaller than for instance the id7 or the BMW I5 the privileged version is a all-wheel drive car with combined output of 544 horsepower or 686 Nm of torque does 0 to 100 3.8 seconds with a top speed of I think it's 200 kph so plenty of power it's a quick car but Power with this air suspension it's really nice to drive and of course the active dampers at adapt to the situation so now I'm driving it in Eco so it's a bit softer but you can stiffen up and get some more support and less b roll if you want that the batter pack on this car is 100 kwhs gross capacity around 95 kwh hours net capacity the certified WLTP range is 585 km so among the highest number first out of this five cars I think the only one that has a higher range is the Porsche so we just driven a 200 km and we've been driving for almost 2 hours so going to check with a littleit status update uh should we start with uh Dennis maybe yes so I'm driving the id7 I have uh 56% uh charge and uh my average consumption is 19.4 okay that's pretty good actually 19.4 it's pretty low Marcus yeah I'm in the BMW uh we have 48% of battery left and we have an average consumption of 20.4 kWh/100km so 20.4 on the BMW also pretty decent actually
yeah it's just the battery level that's quite low though okay it's a big car yeah and and the smallest battery and Matias yeah I'm driving the et5 have 51% left and average perp is 20.5 20.5 okay e how is it going for you I'm sitting in the Zeekr 001 and uh I have an average consumption of 23.7 kWh/100km so it's feels like it's highest among the pack currently 44% state of charge but keep in mind that I started with 90 so it's actually 54 so that's pretty decent despite having a high consumption so I'm in the Porsche uh and I'm at I'm at 56% with an average consumption of 21.6 kWh/100km um yeah it's pretty efficient also the Porsche but it's a really big battery it was 107 Gross capacity right yes it's it's the biggest battery among among the cars yeah I think the second biggest is probably I mean the Zeekr 100 gross and the Nio also has 100 gross as you said BMW has the smallest one with 86 and then we have the yeah id7 with 91 as a gross capacity so uh yeah all big batter packs a little bit hard for some some of the cars to arrive at a destination because we already on the low 50% we will see how how it works but but the roads are smaller right so it's slower speeds from now on yeah it's lower speeds it's around like 80 70 90 kph I guess all the way so and it's currently not snowing or raining so it's okay anyway uh the temperature will probably drop a bit more but yeah my mine actually says 250 km left uh as a total range and the Porsche actually says 229 km but I think it's really like sandbagging it yeah it's pretty yeah it's it is like the BMW both those cars are really defensive when it comes to the estimated range yeah they're really trying to stick to actual numbers or even like a bit too defensive in my in my opinion so it would probably manage that and I'm now sat in the Porsche tyan sport Turismo 4S this is a brand new car fresh out of the factory in this bright blue color and dark gray interior all leather interior uh the 4S is a four-wheel drive car measuring 496 CM so very close to the all the rest of the cars in the in the test and it has the least space when it comes to boot so boot capacity 446 L at the rear plus 84 L at the front so not that bad actually still over 500 L 520 L Al together and this says what you can fit into this car let's start with the rear cuz it has a Frank too one two small cabin bags I use the extra amount of storage underneath here one two three midsized bags so that's what we fit in the boot let's check out the Frank and in the Frank some additional storage and with room for a cabin bag so in total three cabin bags and three midsize bags it has the big batter pack called Performance Plus with a net capacity of 97 kWh and a gross capacity of 105 so this is the car with the biggest battery pack in this group and it has a range for this specific version which is 20in rims of 598 km almost 600 horsepower and over 700 710 newm of torque in launch mode so it's a quick car and it does 0 to 100 in 3.7
seconds with a top speed of 250 km per hour as all other tians it has two gears so that means that it is also quick in speeds above 120 you may have noticed this bright blue safety belts I think it's nights it's not the exact same color as the exterior this is another a bit brighter blue color but it goes well together with this gray interior it's by far the sportiest car among them all but the consumption doesn't feel that bad actually I'm averaging 21.7 and I'm the third driver and we have been covered 260 km so we may be able to reach the end the goal the destination in one charge this is a charging Monster by the way top charge speed when it comes to DC charging fast charging 320 kilowatt 10 to 80% in 24 minutes I have tested that cuz I recently tested the tyon not the 4S but the normal sedon version wheel drive with the same battery pack though it managed 24 minutes I put the link up here if you want to know more about the tyan let's do a status check in we have been traveling for almost 270 km now uh maybe we should start with let's see the BMW this time who's driving the BMW Matias Maas BMW and we have 32% left on the battery and we are at 19.8 kWh/100km okay so the consumption is good it's has dropped below 20 that's good that's not bad yeah and that's we're driving like 70 80 90 yeah that's true that's true but do you like it how about the BMW it's this is a really Comfort car yeah yeah it's a long driver isn't it it is yeah lean back and just roll okay the next one the id7 this time uh it's going well state of charge is 42% um and I have it says it's 200 km left on the on the Range the consumption is 18.0 kWh/100km that's good uh yeah it looks good it looks possible um it's it's efficient 18 so that may be the lowest consumption of cars let's see about that yeah think so so maybe you can make it the whole way uh yeah in in theory at least but yeah that can be I I think I think it will because it it doesn't look like that optimistic uh I think I think it will do get colder and yeah that's true and probably and higher up also right probably yeah it's higher up and colder so a lot of elevation will will come now at the end yeah the last part okay so good the next one the the Nio so uh the Neo has 34% uh on the battery left and uh for the first time we are below 20 on the consumption which is 19.2 overall uh everything has been good uh we have a little bit trouble in uh keeping the windshield uh clean so I really don't uh like the wipers they're uh difficult to maneuver and the cleaning fluid comes a little bit late okay so it like wipes and then the water comes and okay so let's jump over to the Zer yeah uh amazing car really we have a battery charging left of 29% average consumption the last 100 km is 24.1 so it's going down but it's still high
24.1 yeah but you said it you like the car is this the favorite car until now we have tried three cars this is the third one yeah I think this is the favorite as far as it goes okay uh I still have two cars to try out but I think this is my favorite uh Comfort wise uh since I'm a bit shorter than the average people here um it's comfy and the lightning is very good the sound system is amazing and the car is quite simple to understand and maneuver in the menu and everything that's nice to hear because it actually got a a big a very big software update just the other day with uh new functions like manual preheating a lot of bug bug fixes and a lot of stability fixes so it should be a lot better now than it was like two weeks ago so that's that's interesting status from the Porsche 41% state of charge and uh average consumption 21.3 kWh/100km so still over 20 this is not the most efficient car in the test but I mean it also has almost 600 horsepower so I guess that's something to expect two of the cars the BMW I5 with the smallest batter pack and the Nio ET5 they wouldn't reach the end destination and this is the safest spot with a lot of superchargers 20 actually and a lot of ion two places here I think it's nine stations so plenty of fast charging opportunities here so that's why we stay uh to top up those two cars actually we added 10% to the to the Zeekr 001 to make it even Steven against other cars I mean it was missing from the start so now we think and hope that the Zeekr the id7 and the tyan will be able to reach the final destination on one single charge we hope so it's getting colder it's a bit wet and it's windy so and it's sloping so this will be a tough thing to do let's hope we make it the forth switch it's pitch dark outside this car is the longest one in the test 506 cm it's also the most refined car in the test it's so smooth it's so quiet the seats are so nice among these cars this is the most comfortable one so if you're off Comfort this is it so refined interior quality the touch and field everything is great in this car and I have reviewed the BMW I5 too both the M60 touring version but also a sedan so I put the links up here uh for you to look at if you want to know more about the I5 in general also some range tests Etc charging test to this one is the rear whe Drive version It's the e Drive40 so it's the basic version it has 340 horsepower on one motor at the rear so 400 NM of torque does 0 to 100 in 6.1 seconds and
has a top speed of 193 kph so not 200, 193 when it comes to the Practical aspects it's possible to add a tow hitch with 1.5 tons tow capacity the boot is one of the biggest so 570 L of total boot capacity and this is what you can fit into the boot same amount of bags as in the ID7 one midsize one big two small cabin bags and three midsized bags and this is the exact same amount as in ID7 the difference though is that the straighter rear back bench is giving us some more room so it's a bit easier to to sto that car I mean this was a bit too tight if you stole your bags too much it will not be possible but still impressive boot capacity the I5 is the car with the smallest battery among them all it has a gross capacity of 86 kWh and a net capacity of 81 the range for this car with this setup is 547 km and it has slightly bigger rims than the standard one so that eats up a bit of the range so the smallest battery pack by all five cars that also me that we needed to charge it cuz it wasn't enough to go the whole trip in one charge so we have been driving for 350 km just behind me I have the id7 what's the status of the id7 the status of the id7 is 26% left uh and let me check my consumption here I will make it it says okay A bit of juice left I think I have 15 km left when we arrive as a margin so goes as okay so that's like 2%-3% I guess but you fl you feel confident but you're not the one that's going to drive the last part I'm pretty confident okay that's good this is the Porsche still in the race what's the status Marcus yep y the state status of the Porsche is at the moment 31% of battery left and we have a consumption of 21.0 so 21.0 that's a fairly High consumption but 31% state of charge okay do you see an estimated range that you have left yeah uh I have 134 kilm okay so that's a bit higher than the id7 so the battery the big battery size really makes sense so you're probably going to make it but you're also going to switch a car so it's not your problem uh but you feel confident I feel confident this car will make it all the way home nice so the next car up the Zer you you're still running on your original battery charge does it look good yes and we have 19% left which gives us 110 km whoa okay 19% yes exactly so that sounds a bit tight maybe maybe it will work but we will see further on it feels like the Zeek can drop out yeah it will not work and I don't care because I'm going to change this car very soon it sounds that like you are a bit stressed already yeah I have some uh anxiety uh building up in my chest you feel that even if it's not you that's going to drive it yeah exactly because uh I'm a caring person that's good we need caring persons I also want to add the consumption uh that is uh 23.0 it sounds like it's the highest among the cars uh yeah 23 but it has been going down anyway so it's not higher than before I guess in the last car now the last switch is done we have roughly 90 km left on this trip it's pitch black outside the road conditions are not that good it's a bit slushy icy uneven surfaces and wet outside still around 4° C so not that cold actually but we're going upwards I can feel it in my ears this car is actually out of the game cuz we fully recharged it at the charg in Maura but there is three cars still contending more about the Neo 85 touring this is a smaller car the smallest car in the this lineup so 479 cm in total length it's a all-wheel drive car two Motors one permanent magnet motor and one induction motor putting out combined 490 horsepower or around 700 Nm of torque it does 0 to 100 in 4 seconds flat with a top speed of 200 kph so it's a quick car it's powerful it has a battery pack with a gross capacity it's a long-range version by the way of 100 kWh and a nut capacity of 90 so it's a big buffer it charges at a rate of 180 kW a as a peak speed fairly flat charge curve 11 KW for home charging slow charging so decent charge curve not the best in this class but still okay I mean the main thing with Nio is the battery swap stations if you would want to know more about swap stations in general or about the new ET5 touring I have done a full review of this car and that's another video I'll put the link up here when it comes to the boot it has a boot capacity of 450 L it doesn't have any Frank so it's among the smallest uh boots in in this race together with the Porsche but the Porsche still has a Frank this one doesn't but this is how many bags it fits 450 L of boot capacity there's no Frank on this one either let's see how this went tight as you see but still possible two cabin bags one midsize two midsize the third one midsize still and the last this is the big one so that's impressive for 450 L feels more than its actual capacity but what I did I removed the floor cuz as you see there's a couple of liters extra space and that helps me to like have the bags standing so that's really good there's no possibility to angle the rear uh bench so there's no extra room you can gain we are closing into the end Final Destination we have some uh tight ranges left I think the tightest spot is Matias in the zeker what's your status you talked about Turtle mode 0% charge Etc is that correct yeah that's correct it's been 0% batteries for the past 5 km uh right now I'm doing 30 km and it's getting worse uh but it's downhill a bit yeah and I have a few kilometers left till this charging station yeah might not make it might make it I think it will make it pro hopefully you have you're driving on the last buff for now but uh yeah it sounds a bit worrying I mean 50 km per hour is a max speed now that's uh that's tight but I think it's like as I said two or three km left to to the actual charger so you'll probably make it good uh otherwise to 20 km is it 20 now yeah I cannot do anything oh here's the Chargers here's the chargers there's four fast Chargers here now and all of them are free so just make it in and charge I'm rolling you're rolling I'm actually just rolling down okay so don't miss them they are just to the right there I can't do anything I'm just rolling but it's downhill I'm saved by the it's downhill and you do you see the charges now uh not yet I'm close it's still 1.5 km for the zeker okay that's really tight so how is it going for the Porsche and the id7 so the latest update on the Porsche is uh I've got 14% left on the battery which gives me a range of 60 kilm okay so you'll probably make it all the way to the Final Destination cuz we have like I will make it we have 32 km left so you will make it for sure are you a bit stressed or you feel fine oh it's okay I was in The Seer before okay uh I left my stress in the Zeekr okay good so M Matias is carrying that stress now and then we have the id7 how is that going it's going well uh we have 8% of charge left and uh we have 42 km left in range okay so you also have a consumption of 18 that's good that's good and you have then you have a margin of like 10 km after arri so that's also okay I guess good I think I think it will make it yeah so we may have two cars making it all the way to the end destination impressive 450 km that's good during winter time and with this conditions I'm just going to check back to to the Zeekr how is it going are you have you reached the charger where's yeah I'm looking for the uh charger it's four big charges you can't miss them just to the right after the petrol station so Matias battery has just finished just at the charging station so Matias how did you make it just barely or rolled in roll and now is dead totally de completely dead and we have a problem you roll in I took the first part and now the charging port is on this side of the car and the charging station is to the right of the car okay so we have uh we have an issue an issue right now as Mattias said we have the charging port on the left on the left side and it's really icy here and we cannot move the car because it's just finished and the charging is here so he's actually mananaging by himself so you can see I need to uh I can put push you I will push you I can push you you have to move your car oh okay I need to move my car are you ready with the break yeah okay perfect are you sure okay perfect was pretty lucky was a bit down slope that's pretty crazy actually on [Laughter] the okay so that was crazy so how did it feel was it uh I'm glad I have here with friends and not by myself or with the family in the car that would have been stressful yeah but is it okay the but we did make it we we did it perfect [Music] [Music] the first car to arrive is the Porsche and uh let us check your state of charge Dennis how do you feel your you feel fine no worries no worries easy peasy easy peasy 6% yeah and remaining range 23 km so that's what you have left so 100 you actually spent 94 % for 459 km yeah from door to door, from door to door one charge Stockholm - Idre yes and here we also have the guys that unloading the car they also arrived with id7 in one single charge and that's impressive cuz this battery pack is actually smaller and I don't know if you see it but it has has 8% state of charge no 8 km left with 1% state of charge as you see here that's clear so 1% 8 km that's really a bit risky to to go that way I mean it's a bit of a small margin I guess Porsche is okay 8% or 6% this has one and the Zeekr is on the way charging up just finished the charging so they will arrive in half an hour and then we have uh together with him to support him we have the BMW I5 so these guys are a bit uh tired today I guess and that's Peder by the way has helped us out filming documenting yeah a lot of uh helpful stuff for us to to be able to do this and this is the lunch it's not that snowy but it's getting colder so this is the second day we are in idra and have had a good sleep long travel yesterday and today it's time to actually choose and pick your favorite among all the cars so we tested five cars yesterday and Dennis I think you are the starter here so which one is your favorite car which one would you pick it's quite uh unexpected okay um but after driving all the five cars yesterday I actually have two good favorites okay two you need to choose one but you can mention both yeah I will make that choice based on my needs today y I have a family I need a car that's reliable and has the space uh so I will definitely go for the BMW yeah the fun thing is that that when we talked before getting the cars you said like I don't want to test drive the BMW cuz I don't like BMW yeah I mean I I when it comes to BMW I like the SUVs yeah but I think that all the other cars onem three five series they have never been a car for me because you're sitting so close to the ground yeah more sporty feeling to them yeah but the SUVs has been okay yeah what I felt with the I5 was that you're sitting a little bit more off the ground yeah and then I like all the features uh and especially the comfort so your least favorite pikon which one would you really not go for it will definitely be the the Neo okay I I think I expected more from that car Matthew yes your favorite with a reason again on top I have two favorite cars but I'm going to choose one yeah H and that is the r I have Zeekr a really special relationship with the Seeker now yeah last this accident yeah absolutely uh but again I really like that car uh a lot it has some issues really software issues that I hope they solve in the future but even with those I would say that's really nice car the quality driving handling it's really really nice car yeah okay so the the least the Le again yeah that's also based on again some family needs and buyer perspective yeah uh and I was really disappointed on the porch again from how we were driving yesterday no it was not track driving it was not fast it it took it easy it was a slippery yeah so a bit disappointed it's a lot of money and the wow factor wasn't there uh Soo it costs almost it costed twice as the the Zeekr in this Cas you can buy two zers for the price of of this and the back seat there is no back seat no uh I mean it's not a touring car for a family no let's jump over to you yeah uh favorite pick favorite pick it's a hard one uh I think all of the cars are good yeah none of them are bad per se but uh it's it's it's a good lineup five good cars yeah all of them I would I could live with all of them yeah um but for me it's also like two choices would be the BMW or the Zeekr yeah would be my favorites um like the Zeekr is more unique uh like the interior like it's designed but still minimalistic a bit different compared to what we're used and it's like the performance is really good we didn't use it yesterday but you have four-wheel drive over 500 hp uh but the BMW was really comfy yeah the I thought the lights and everything would be tacky that doesn't no but it's it's yeah no but it looks good actually still a premium feel yeah it feels really good yeah so so which one did you pick you're you're talk you're just still thinking talking about yeah I'm like really confused about them uh it's like 50/50 you need to pick one uh then I would go for the zeker just because of the uni two zers here yeah yeah so it's almost the same price point the BMW we have here is a bit more expensive because it's uh it has a lot more uh equipment than on the entry L level but you can get the rear whe drive car for approximately the same price but without all that b belts and whistles but still Zeekr yeah but then you get the four-wheel drive more performance and you also helped Matias during the the the energy run out yesterday but you still like yeah of course cuz the consumption is really not the best no it's a big battery yeah it's a big battery pack so you still have decent range push them like normally I would when we eat lunch I would just plug it in minutes and wouldn't be a problem no but we need we like to push it here so exactly the bottom car is is also hard uh because all the cars are good um none of them was bad per say like I don't have any children or anything but I think the id7 is really boring it's not a bad car I think it's like soulless yeah I feel like I don't care about cars when I buy it well you just want to go from A to B yeah yeah and uh but it took us all the way to this place without charging I know it's a really good car it's comfy and it looks good normally but it's it's like I don't know it's like the cheapest car in the tust too yeah it feels soless let's move over to Marcus oh you told me this morning that you had a hard time even yesterday evening you have a hard time like really thinking of which car you wanted to go for yeah uh I think it all five cars are amazing cars uh but I'm into your uh topic as well uh with the id7 it feels like buying a any Volkswagen you can buy is the same thing inside yeah you have almost the same equipment of course they updated the entertainment system but still it still feels like a Volkswagen yeah which is quite soulless it's it's a like a working man's car my favorite will be the Seeker because too okay yeah cuz it felt more premium I even uh if I wouldn't see the price tags before and I didn't know anything about Seeker no I would think that the Seeker would be more expensive than the Porsche okay because it felt more premium inside so I guess that's M turn I I don't even know this is hard uh I've always liked the Zer it's one of my favorites for sure and I want to put the Porsche at the top for my needs it's too expensive and doesn't give me the the Practical aspects that you really need even if it's good I mean this the boot space is okay you have the frunk Etc we did the you and me we did the the trunk test or the loading test and it it loads good it actually loads better than the Neo and that's thanks to the Frank in the front you can you can utilize that and you can put on a tow hitch Etc but the back seat is still too small for my needs okay so so the top pick is I think it's actually between the BMW and the Zer for me too because I really like the Zer I like the especially with the big rims it's a it's a big and like beefy car looks really good on the road and it also drives good I'm a bit disappointed on the on the consumption I have tested it before and it doesn't perform as good as a lot of other cars I mean I expect like 50 or 60 km more out of that battery size so that's a bit disappointing I hope it's more software related so we can get more range of it uh later on but but still a bit too inefficient so that's probably my reason for picking the BMW instead as as a top pick my favorite aspect with the BMW is is uh for sure the the right quality it's so smooth it's so silky and it's so silent it's it's like another world compared to the other cars it's so much more silky even if the Zeekr has the the IR suspension the BMW is something else and the fit and finish the quality of the Interior is really topnotch and at the bottom line in this lineup is hard I think it's the Neo because it's a lot smaller than other cars that's the main reason it's getting dark soon so we need to to Really pack up and go home because we have five or six hours of of travel home y but we will summarize the total trip the consumption of every car the range you can get out of it uh of a full battery pack but also costs of charging Etc so so a comprehensive View [Music] okay so this is a couple of days later we have summarized and crunched all the numbers you have them here this is the final result the consumption range the costs everything and and we are sitting in the an Audi sq6 by the way and this is a review car we're going to have it for almost two weeks we're going to dissect it in the smallest detail but that's later about the trip two cars managed it to the Final Destination very impressive the id7 and the Porsche and we actually thought that all cars was going to manage this 459 km of of distance yeah but we didn't consider the elevation the bad weather the bad road conditions but with all that said it's still very impressive yeah I mean especially the ig7 yeah with one of the smallest batteries but with the highest efficiency of them all by a margin yeah impressive impressive impressive efficiency I didn't give or I think we didn't give ID7 credit enough during the video I'm going to actually change my top pick that was the BMW I5 the so smooth right to this to to the id7 actually to the id7 GTX because it's a really it's a bargain I mean the cheapest car to test like the best range yeah if you don't consider the Porsche overall a great package uh especially for the price yeah especially for the price the boot capacity the rear seats space the comfort with the active dampers everything is included massage sound system you have everything in it everything and for a very competitive price and the charging is great I mean it charged almost as fast as the Porsche with 800 volt system 26 minutes 10-80%. which also is really impressive that's really impressive for a 400 volt system so this means that you could drive like fully charge a car at home yeah Drive all the way to the cabin without any stops no charging stay the weekend or what you want to do charge the car up in the weekend and then drive all the way home without any stops again so you can do only home charging at both locations so you don't need to do any stops and you will save a lot of money yeah and if you have a small bladder that's not possible if you have a big bladder you can just blast and go yeah one go could be and then it would cost like 200 SEK or € 18 depending that's cheap yeah that's cheap and that's with my electricity prices I mean €18 nothing that's that's really cheap for going 900 km yeah and you can do it for the whole family yeah for € 18 or 200 SEK yeah whole weekend yeah that's impressive also that's really impressive we wouldn't recommend to push it that much though I mean id7 was just like on the edge I mean 1% ster charge and 8 km left in range then you have a small buffer underneath that but it's still a bit risky going pushing it that hard it is but Porsche with 6% yeah more safe margin more safe and if you go for smaller rims then you will add even more range or drive a little bit slower or maybe better better weather conditions yeah then we'll be fine we'll be fine yeah I just want to send a special thanks to Matias one of the drivers in the video he lended us his cabin really great place I put a link to it in the description cuz it's possible to to rent it if you're interested in that check the the description and uh just also want to mention that we have put a lot of effort and time and money into this video I mean collecting all the cars all the cars are press cars by the way so it's official press cars from every brand here in Sweden so top-notch cars with that said we will really appreciate you if you really helped us to spread the word share this video like it subscribe to the channel for more content like this and most importantly stay electric thank you for watching speak to you soon
