With LEDs that glow around where the grille used to be, and a spoiler that rises out of the boot when you unlock the car.

Inside, it’s a step above — warm beige seats, silver accents, and a 14-speaker Sony sound system that sounds like it belongs in a car three times the price.

Now the numbers. 190 kilowatts to the rear wheels — rare these days, rarer still in an EV. A 78 kilowatt-hour battery, 560 kilometres of claimed range, and ten-to-eighty percent charging in around 24 minutes.

On the road, one word — it glides. Smooth, planted, and so quiet that even on the highway there’s barely a sound.

Five-star ANCAP. Five-year unlimited warranty. Just eighteen hundred dollars of servicing over five years. From $49,990.

The Mazda 6e. The sedan’s not dead. It just went quiet.

A wider, stronger face, 18-inch alloys with privacy glass. Gives a real presence at the kerb.

Inside, the tech is the star. Everyone else chases wide screens, the ASX runs a portrait one that doesn’t block your view, with Google Maps in the driver’s display.

Under the bonnet, a 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine. 113 kilowatts, 270 newton-metres, with a seven-speed dual-clutch. It claims 6.4 litres per hundred k and over my week of testing it matched almost exactly.

Here’s the bit I didn’t see coming. I enjoyed the dual-clutch. Hold a gear, feel the shift land and ease back into the power. A flow an EV never quite replicates.

A soft, settled ride. Physical buttons that survived the touchscreen age. Up to ten years of warranty, servicing and roadside assistance.

From around $42,000 before on-roads.

The Mitsubishi ASX . Sharp to look at, sensible to drive and covered for longer than most people keep a car.

Step inside and prepare to be confused — in the best possible way. The completely flat floor, tall roofline, and clever packaging make it feel like a Tardis. Two rear passengers get genuine six-foot legroom. In a car under four metres long.

Dual 10.25-inch screens, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and — remarkably — full Vehicle-to-Load capability. You can power household appliances straight from the car.

In the city? It’s an absolute joy. Just 1,305 kilograms, a 10.6-metre turning circle, and go-kart agility. Parking spaces that defeat other drivers? Not a problem.

327 kilometres of WLTP range. Ten-to-eighty percent in around 30 minutes. Five-year unlimited warranty. Lifetime roadside assistance.

All from around $36,000 drive-away.­

The Hyundai Inster. Proof that going electric doesn’t have to mean going big.
