The Tesla Model Y remains the go-to electric crossover for the majority of people. However, can the new competition from traditional automakers change that? Matt from Carwow tried to find out in the channel's latest video.
He first discussed design. He isn't too fond of the Tesla's blob-like look, preferring the more distinctive Audi. However, the Volvo is his favorite from a design perspective. The Volvo interior isn't that modern, as its based off a XC40 which has been around since 2016. The Audi is a lot more futuristic inside. Meanwhile, the Tesla has great tech and feels airy and modern however the steering wheel feels a bit cheap.
The Model Y feels sporty however it's not all that comfortable and there's a lot of road noise. The Volvo is less sporty but a lot more comfortable, which is ultimately what you want in this segment. The Audi is a good blend of comfort and performance, however it doesn't handle too well around corners and there's no one-pedal driving.
