.............................................................
Is it time to forget about two of the most popular ICE saloons out there, the 3 Series & C-Class, and go for the all-electric Tesla Model 3? Well, Mat’s about to find out!
In this video, he’s going to delve deep into each car to see which is the right choice for you. From their exterior & interior styles through to their driving ability and boot space, Mat’s going to see whether all-electric power is the best choice for you in 2021.
In terms of price & performance, they’re all relatively evenly matched. We’ve brought in the hybrid editions of the 3 Series & C-Class, so as a result, they all cost around £40,000.
When it comes to power, the C-Class leads it, with its 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine & electric motor delivering 312hp. Its 25kWh battery pack will also allow you to drive for over 60 miles on electric power alone! As for the BMW, the engine size is the same, but it can only put down 292hp. Its battery pack is also much smaller, at 12kWh.
And then finally we have the Tesla. It’s the entry-level Standard Range Plus model, so it only has a single electric motor which provides 272hp. It also has a claimed range of 278 miles.
So which will come out on top today? There’s only one way to find out… Stick with Mat for this all-new group test!

@latlak 2 года назад

The BMW can only charge with 3,6 kW and when you tested how fast the petrol engine switches on, you clearly did it with a cold motor. The power dial had a temperature icon and didn't scale up to 100%, which it only does when the motor and battery are warmed up. It takes about 5 minutes of driving to do so and when they are all ready, they work even better together. Just wanted to clarify.

There’s always something you miss out when comparing hybrids. You give the electric-only range, but what about the overall range? Do these hybrids suffer from smaller fuel tanks than the “standard” models?

@kyriakos098 2 года назад

he did say while driving the teslas that you do have to be more aware on longer trips where in the other cars you rely on the engine to be able to go far enough for you.

@Tomoyo0827 2 года назад

No, plug in hybrid has same range as petrol variant only slightly less than diesel

@stuartblackwell9580 2 года назад

My G21 330e does around 330 miles with a full tank of petrol and a full battery. Although realistic electric only range is more like 25 miles, but then I do have the xDrive version.

@Floridos 2 года назад

Very true. If you look at the 5 series it matters quite a bit. The 540i can have 68 liters and the 545e only 46 liters. And on a longer trip the battery will be empty which means more fuel consumption for the extra weight.

@drcuffe 2 года назад

I own a 330e and love it. 2 Things worth to mention about it based on this video. 1 you should get the adaptiv susp. Its softer in hybrid modus and firmer in sport. 2 when carwow accelerate in this video they drive in e-mode (pure electric). You will feel a completely different car in hybrid modus regarding respons etc. You can get xboost in both modus but in pure electric xboost kick in much later and slower. You almost never drive in pure emode because the hybrid modus and sport modus gives you the best experience.

Thomas Timmermans because those aren’t even remotely similar cars…? The EV6 isn’t a sedan like these 3. It doesn’t have performance like these 3. It’s handling and responsiveness isn’t up to par with these 3. There isn’t another affordable, comparable EV sedan that competes with the model 3 here, all others are wildly more expensive or suffer from major downfalls. You’d have to do a completely different video with different ICE crossovers to compare the EV6 to.

I own 330e M Sports 2021 ( its been 8 months ) and have been feeling that little harsh on bumps then normal previous models I wondered and I couldn't figure out that its because of weight. BMW needs better suspension for that extra battery weight and to be honest they need bigger battery size. :P lol I loved the way car goes. Its so fast. It take little bit time to kick off but once it kick off it goes 95-100 MPH easily without even noticing. Love the experience driving this one.

Why are 17" alloy wheels a negative? They make the ride much more comfortable, tyres are much cheaper and you'll have a bigger tyre wall which can prevent wheel rash if you happen to have a small accident or let's say you have to avoid something on the road and drive over the curb. 17" alloy wheels are a HUGE positive compared to 18's.

Fellow M3P driver here. I love Model 3 interior and the center display is perfect - had concerns for the lack of driver dash at first. However, the noise inside and the overall ride quality is a far cry from Merc. That is where it shines. If your primary desire is comfort and ride quality, then your choice perhaps is Merc or BMW; otherwise, Tesla is amazing. Just a perfect balance of performance, range, price, etc.

@Slippers84 2 года назад

I have the 330e so probably a little biased but I love it, for everyday driving and having a spirited drive. I noticed that your ICE wasn’t warm so the 330e will limit power when you floor it, you may have noticed a bit more pick-up if the engine was already warm. Also I know it wasn’t part of the test but xtraboost mode on the 330e would apply all power so you may have felt it was a bit more alive then. Can’t comment on the other 2, not a big Mercedes fan but I’d like to see how it drives, likewise I’d love to have a go in a Tesla

@@rayzecor People generally have plug-in hybrids due to tax reasons. BIK tax is calculated partly based on a cars electric-only range... thus creating much of the demand for plug-in hybrids. The difference in tax between the 330E and the 340i, on my salary, is over £600 per month. It's a totally flawed system as recent studies show that most people don't even plug their plug-in hybrids in, let alone do a majority of their driving in electric, and the combustion engine-only car is actually more economic, not to mention better to drive, due to the fact that it doesn't have an extra 200kg, or in your case, 300kg, of batteries and motors crammed in.

Here in Brisbane Australia, people shopping in this 3-series, C-class, A4 segment, generally go for the Model 3. One in three homes in Brisbane have solar power, 2 in 5 homes in Australia have solar. It’s a no brainer really. The Tesla drives better, is faster, significantly more space, minimal maintenance and you drive past $1.80 per litre petrol with a smile on your face. We have driven from Brisbane to Tasmania in our 5 year old Model S without any problems, that’s a 3000km journey. We’re planning another drive to Adelaide this Christmas. That’s a 6000km round trip. On a day to day basis, the 400km range is more than sufficient.
