Certainly! Let's delve into the comparison of the specified electric SUVs across the following categories:

  1. Range & Battery Performance
  2. Towing & Performance
  3. Luxury & Features
  4. Dimensions & Practicality
1. Range & Battery Performance

A recent range test by CarWow evaluated several electric SUVs, including the Polestar 4, Porsche Macan EV, Tesla Model Y, Ford Explorer EV, Kia EV6, and Audi Q4 e-tron. The Polestar 4 achieved the longest range, covering 333 miles, which is 90% of its advertised WLTP range. The Porsche Macan EV followed closely with 318 miles, and the Tesla Model Y covered 294 miles. It's noteworthy that none of the vehicles matched their WLTP range estimates, which is common due to real-world driving conditions.
