One of the first and most recognizable players in the segment, the Tesla Model 3 remains a textbook example of an electric compact sedan. Its core strengths are its quick acceleration, its long-range estimates, and its impressively fast charging times. It also recently received suspension and interior quality updates that keep this five-passenger EV at the top of its class.

Puzzlingly, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are still absent.
Expert Tip: If you find the Model 3 appealing but the heavy reliance on the single touchscreen puts you off, take a look at the Hyundai Ioniq 6, Kia EV4, or even the BMW i4.

Built alongside the BMW Z4 convertible, the Supra’s swoopy…
