Snapshot for the 5 most “fun-to-drive” EVs, with WLTP, charging, pricing, and cabin-noise .
Headline specs (EU/SE market)
| Car | WLTP range | DC fast-charge (10–80%) | AC onboard | Arch. | Cabin noise @130 km/h* | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hyundai Ioniq 5 N | 448 km | ≈17 min, peak 263 kW (avg ~205) | 11 kW | 800 V | 66.0 dB (base Ioniq 5 tested) | |
| Porsche Taycan GTS (’25) | WLTP not explicitly listed; EVDB real ~535 km | ≈16–18 min, peak ~320–322 kW | 11 kW (22 kW option) | 800 V | 66.7 dB (ADAC Taycan) | |
| Tesla Model 3 Performance (’25 Highland) | (EVDB real ~515 km; WLTP typically ~528–547 km for EU P) | ~29 min on 250 kW SuC v3 (avg ~120 kW 10–80%) | 11 kW | 400 V | ~67 dBA @70 mph (LR tested; P similar) | |
| Kia EV6 GT (MY25) | 450 km | ≈17–18 min, peak 263 kW (avg ~205) | 11 kW | 800 V | 65.2 dB (ADAC EV6 facelift) | |
| Lotus Emeya R / 900 | 485 km WLTP (R TEL) | ≈18 min, peak 350 kW (avg ~240) | up to 22 kW AC | 800 V | — (no standardized dB yet) |
* Cabin-noise notes: ADAC measures interior noise at a steady 130 km/h. Where only base model was tested (Ioniq 5, EV6), expect the N/GT versions to be a touch louder due to wider/ stickier tires. Tesla figure is an independent instrumented test at 70 mph (~113 km/h) for the Long Range facelift; P should be similar or a tad higher.
Quick take for you (driver’s eye)
- Track/spirited driving stamina
- Ioniq 5 N: the most playful; robust thermal management; ~17 min 10–80% means short pit stops between hot laps. Drift features if you want to get silly. (EV-database)
- Taycan GTS: the most precise steering/ chassis feel; ferocious ~320 kW charging keeps road-trip pace unmatched among this group. Newer suspension tech (Active Ride) elevates control without harshness. (EV-database)
- Model 3 Performance (’25): the lightest feel here; strong Track Mode tuning and sticky OE tires (market-dependent) give confidence on B-roads; charging is good, not class-leading. (EV-database)
- EV6 GT: hilariously quick, adjustable balance; charging parity with Ioniq 5 N; slightly softer steering feel vs Taycan/Model 3P. (EV-database)
- Emeya R/900: mega pace with 350 kW DC—turnarounds rival Taycan—but we lack standardized cabin-noise and long-term brake fade data yet. (EV-database)
- Cabin quietness at motorway speeds (your Sthlm–Göteborg sanity)
- Best measured numbers here are EV6 (~65 dB) and Taycan (~66–67 dB); Ioniq 5 base ~66 dB.
Tesla’s facelifted 3 is ~3 dB quieter than before (measured 67 dBA @70 mph); Performance should be similar, tire choice can add 1–2 dB. (adac.de)
- Best measured numbers here are EV6 (~65 dB) and Taycan (~66–67 dB); Ioniq 5 base ~66 dB.
