Family Electric Car Megatest! Tesla Model Y vs Zeekr 7X, BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV5 & Skoda Enyaq
The Tesla Model Y has been the world’s best-selling car and is the most popular EV in Australia, but should that be the case? Never since launching has Tesla’s mid-size family SUV faced so much competition from so many new faces — is it still the benchmark?
To find out, Chasing Cars assembled four key rivals, selecting the most competitive based on sales results and our extensive testing to fight for sub-$70K electric supremacy.
Against the Tesla Model Y RWD are the new Zeekr 7X RWD base model, the BYD Sealion 7 Premium, Kia EV5 Earth AWD, and Skoda Enyaq 85 Sportline.
In this five-car comparison, Chasing Cars road test editor John Law teams up with founder Tom Baker and editor-at-large Nathan Ponchard to rate each entrant in a gruelling week-long test and ultimately determine a winner.
