If you usually drive yourself, the Mercedes-Benz CLA EV is a stylish electric sedan that's got a refined and efficient powertrain promising over 500km of real-world range. Additionally, its ride comfort and handling balance are sorted, and the cabin features the latest AI-enabled tech.Do keep in mind, its rear seat is cramped, the seating position is knees-up even at the front, and it misses sun shades for the sunroof and rear windows, and ventilated seats. Alternatively, if your usage is mixed - self and chauffeur-driven, the BMW iX1 is the better bet. It drives well, has a higher seat and better ground clearance, and even though its cabin might not feel as special as the CLA's. But, the build and fit-finish still feels solid, its back seat is more spacious, and then you also get the badge and safety you expect at this price.

If you're already leaning towards the Tesla Model Y L, you should go for it, as, for the money, it's one of the best EVs out there. At this time, we're yet to review the L, but the improvements it promises over the standard-wheelbase models are impressive. For one, there's the additional space, captain's chairs for the second row and a usable third row, which already elevates it above most others at this price point. The already long list of features gets an upgrade with heating and ventilation in the second row, faster wireless chargers and an upgraded sound system. They've even added adaptive dampers, which should address a big criticism of the standard models - a harsh ride quality. The biggest gains, however, appear to have been to performance and range, thanks to a dual-motor setup with around 500hp, and with a 681km WLTP range, expect upwards of 500km on a full charge in the real world, as Teslas are known to be quite efficient. Downsides you should be aware of - the wheelbase is 150mm longer, but ground clearance has only gone up by 2mm (now 169mm), so be careful over speed breakers. And shortcomings of old remain, like very few buttons on the interior, and a quality that doesn't feel good enough at this price range. However, we're sure you're familiar with the vehicle already, as you're already inclined towards it. Another alternative that's very appealing is the new Mercedes-Benz CLA Electric, which has an even longer range and tech that's arguably on par with Tesla. However, it is nowhere near as spacious as the Model Y L.
