One of the most comfortable cars on the market, as Citroën have always been, with their innovative suspension set up. The incredible Progressive Hydraulic Cushion suspension has you feeling like you are floating over bumps. Add to that the double padded seats and you will never want to get out of the car when you get to your destination!

Performance of the fully electric C4 isn’t jaw dropping by any means. Yes, you get the typical instant torque from an electric motor and lack of needing actual cogs for gears, but with a zero to one hundred time of around 9 seconds it won’t out run the boy racer sitting next to you at the lights. The claimed range of 363 kilometres is reasonable, but it’s likely you’d need to spend a fair amount of time driving in eco mode to achieve this.

We reviewed this great EV back in December but unfortunately that thing called life got in the way. Firstly our video editor got caught up with some busy high school stuff and then when the video was finally completed I went and started a new day job which has taken some massive adjustments for me with different and irregular hours!

Check out our full (almost out dated) video review below. Feel free to ‘like’, share, comment and subscribe! There are more reviews to come.

Peugeot’s latest offering for the commercial sector shouldn’t disappoint those needing to save on their businesses bottom line when it comes to running costs for their tradies transport or delivery vehicle. Whilst the range, 339 kilometres (claimed), isn’t suitable for the likes of couriers that will travel many more kilometres than the e-Expert can manage, it will still be perfect for tradies, builders in particular that can charge it while at the construction site, or businesses that will only do a few deliveries or pickups a day. This will certainly make the company accountant smile when they crunch the numbers on the running costs!

This has to be by far one of the best vehicles we have tested here at NZ On Cars. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is absolutely loaded with all kinds of techy gadgets, roomy, comfortable, and crazy quick for what is basically a family sized sedan. Sure, the looks take some getting used to, and many out there quite simply cannot get past that. That is their loss. To be fair I wasn’t too crazy on the looks myself but after the first few days it really grew on me. It’s different, and that’s a good thing, it stands out from all the mundane average three-box sedan shapes that has been the staple design of family sedans for many decades. The shape of the IONIQ 6 is more than just a quirky, droopy shape, it has an aerodynamic drag coefficient of just 0.22, which is basically a scientific way of saying it can slip through the air more efficiently than a greasy eel.

Welcome to the Peugeot e-Partner. Peugeot’s electric version of the great Partner we tested last year. We loved the petrol variant but is the électrique version any better? Read on and check out our video review below!

Say hello to the awesome little Opel Corsa e. A great pocket rocket so nippy and agile you could almost call it a hot hatch!

Aside from a lack of storage space in the back seat area this orange hatchback is nearly impossible to fault.

Welcome to the funky ‘SUV’ (or overgrown hatchback as I like to call them) the Opel Mokka-e. A great little run-a-bout that will save your wallet many dollars (and the environment too, apparently).

This great little SUV EV is a lot of fun to drive, especially in sport mode, and turns heads wherever you go.

All the bells and whistles you’d expect from a European car at an affordable price.
