In this carwow video, the team takes on the task of comparing four electric saloons: the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4, Mercedes EQE, and Hyundai Ioniq 6. Now, electric cars have come a long way, and Tesla, as always, is leading the charge. The Model 3 has received a facelift, with new alloy wheel designs and paint schemes. The front end looks more aggressive with slimmer headlights and a big central vent. It's a bit audacious, but I must say, it's got a hint of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 about it.

Speaking of the Ioniq 6, it's one of the most unusual-looking saloons out there. It's got this swoopy body that's all about reducing drag for maximum efficiency. However, there are some design choices that don't quite hit the mark, like those vertical slats in the rear bumper. But let's not forget the Mercedes EQE, which takes a simple approach with a lack of fancy creases and details. Some might find it a bit bland, but hey, simplicity is in fashion, right?

Now, if you want a car that will turn heads, the BMW i4 might be your best bet. The design has grown on me, but I can't help but question the decision to stick an M badge on it. It's like someone found an M badge lying around and thought, "Why not?" Nevertheless, it does have some sporty upgrades, like the M-style door mirrors and blue sporty brake calipers. The interior of the i4 follows the same layout as the latest BMW M3 and M4, with a nice low seating position and a huge curved screen that rivals the quality of a smartphone.

Overall, these electric saloons each have their own unique design and features. From the Tesla Model 3's aggressive front end to the Hyundai Ioniq 6's swoopy body, and the BMW i4's sporty upgrades, there's something for everyone. And let's not forget the Mercedes EQE's simplicity, which may appeal to those who prefer a more understated look. It's an exciting time for electric cars, and these four models are certainly making a statement in the market.
