Best EVs Under $60K, Ford Mustang Mach-E, VW ID.4, Kia EV6, Alfa Romeo Tonale: Test Car Happy Hour #42

The Motor1.com team is scattered all over the globe. Even here in the US, we have editors in Los Angeles, a couple in Detroit, folks in Florida, Ohio, and more. And, we all love talking about what we're driving. The Test Car Happy Hour on Thursdays at 2:30 PM Eastern (11:30 AM Pacific) is where we have a face-to-face digital car meet. You can be part of the conversation by joining us during the show on FacebookTwitter, or YouTube. Your comments automatically go into our streaming feed where we can see, share, and respond to them.

If you happen to be reading this after the live broadcast has ended, you can also find the audio version of The Test Car Happy Hour on all of your favorite streaming platforms, first thing every Monday morning.

This week we have Motor1.com Editor-in-Chief Seyth Miersma, Senior Editor Brett T. Evans, and Senior Editor Jeff Perez.

Going alphabetically by vehicle, Evans has an Alfa Romeo Tonale. It's the brand's new, smaller crossover that fits below the Stelvio. Power comes from turbocharged 1.3-Liter four-cylinder and a single electric motor making a total of 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet.

Miersma's machines this week are the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT and Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S AWD. They're EVs that compete against each other, so let's see what he thinks of them.

Finally, Perez has a Kia EV6 GT, making this an EV-heavy episode.

Roughly the last 10 minutes of the show will be a discussion between the guys about what's the best EV to buy on a $60,000 budget. These days, there are quite a few vehicles that fit the bill, so it should be intriguing to find out what they pick.

A major reason we do The Test Car Happy Hour every week is to answer your questions. Join us during the stream and let our talented editors share their experiences with you. They're ready to help you.
