With a battery that has a capacity of up to 40 kWh and a robust motor, the all-new Nissan Leaf can take you up to 311km on a single charge. Nissan has been working on designing electric cars since 1947, meaning that over 70 years of experience goes into the Leaf. One of the biggest advances is the inclusion of the e-pedal, one pedal that controls both accelerating and braking, promising a smoother ride and a more enjoyable driving experience.

3. Jaguar
Jaguar’s first all-electric performance SUV, I-Pace is now available in Hong Kong. Voted 2019 World Car of the Year, this Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) provides 400PS and 700Nm of usable instant torque, accelerating from 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds. We are big fans of the in-car technology too, especially the smart settings that allow the car to recognise different drivers via key or phone, automatically updating seat, mirror and media preferences accordingly.

Lauded by many for its supreme handling (especially in tight city streets like Hong Kong), the new Range Rover Evoque has finally been launched in The 852.

Alongside this, the Evoque’s interiors include responsibly sourced seat materials, plus, the entire vehicle has been designed to be 85% recyclable at the end of its life.
