Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered with Yours to bring you the award for the Best Small Electric Car in the prestigious Parkers New Car Awards 2021. The shortlists have been announced today (10 October) with the Best Small Electric Car brought to you by Yours being one of 21 awards.
So, if you’re looking to buy or lease a small electric car, you know that any one of these three excellent options will be perfect for a plug-in lifestyle. They offer all of the ease of driving and low running costs that you expect with an electric car, but with a cheerful character that makes these such fun in cities.
Honda e
It looks like a blast from the future but its Star Trek dashboard is simple to use and a great deal of fun to look at. The new Honda has concept car looks and is an absolute joy to drive in the city.
Renault Zoe
Although it’s been around for a while, the Zoe has been overhauled for 2020, with a new long-range battery and updated driver tech. Here’s a car that’s perfect for the city, but with a range of 200-plus miles, it’s ideal for longer journeys.
SEAT Mii
This all-electric city car is based on a petrol-engined car, but you’d never know, as it’s such an accomplished battery-powered car. It’s fun to drive, has a perfectly good battery range, and is perfectly sized for ducking and diving in the city
Now in its fourth year, the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 reflect the views of Britain’s car-buying public, with winners decided by a combination of the site’s expert reviewers’ verdicts in thousands of miles of road testing and the purchasing habits of the website’s 2.3+ million users* actively involved in the buying process.
Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk Editor, said: ‘Electric cars are all the rage right now, but choosing one that’s right for you is a daunting task. All three of these are great for city drivers, proving a great deal of fun, while costing pennies to run. Choosing the best small electric car from this list will be very tough, and we’ll be calling on the team’s 100 years of car reviewing expertise to come up with a winner out of this threesome.’
