在过去五年的大部分时间里，特斯拉Model 3已经占据了全球经济实惠的电动轿车市场。

但来自中国和欧洲的竞争越来越激烈。目前特斯拉Model 3最值得注意的竞争对手可能是比亚迪海豹和大众ID.7。

充满电

（在某种程度上）负担得起的电动轿车细分市场正变得越来越拥挤

比亚迪海豹和大众 ID.7 是特斯拉 Model 3 迄今为止见过的一些最严重的竞争对手。但 Model 3 并没有停滞不前，它是一款非常引人注目的改款 Highland 包装。

这两款车型都是全球车型，几乎将在世界各地销售，但比亚迪海豹在美国除外——至少目前是这样。

什么车？在英国并排测试了所有三款电动轿车，以找出哪一款更好;请记住，视频中的 Model 3 是美国尚未获得的改款 Highland 版本。

该测试包括从伦敦到威尔士的 556 英里往返行程，这让测试人员有足够的时间在各种情况下评估这三辆电动汽车，包括在高速公路、二级公路和城市中行驶。

这次公路旅行还提供了一个比较三款电动轿车充电体验的机会。可以想象，特斯拉Model 3比竞争对手有很大的优势：庞大而可靠的超级充电站网络。

请注意，一些特斯拉超级充电站现在也接受非特斯拉电动汽车，比亚迪海豹和大众ID.7在测试期间实际上在威尔士使用一个充电站，尽管每千瓦时的价格略高于Model 3。

除了最便宜之外，特斯拉也是最快、最容易充电的。这些家伙还一致认为，特斯拉Model 3在测试中拥有最好的内饰，比改款前的车型迈出了一大步。

特斯拉也是三款电动轿车中最便宜的，起价略低于 40,000 英镑，而比亚迪售价 45,700 英镑，大众售价 55,600 英镑。然而，ID.7 是一款更大的汽车，它有一个满载的发布版;更多实惠的变体将随之而来。

在充电成本和效率方面，这甚至不是一场竞赛：Model 3 Highland 需要 59.2 磅的充电来支付行程费用——是 ID.7 所需成本的一半——平均为 3.6 英里/千瓦时，而比亚迪海豹为 3.1 英里/千瓦时，大众 ID.7 为 2.8 英里/千瓦时。

为了使比较尽可能公平，这些家伙将电动轿车带到了米尔布鲁克车辆试验场，在那里他们模拟了冬季条件下的高速公路、农村和城市驾驶，并轮换了驾驶员。

特斯拉再次获胜，但这里的真实情况是，ID.7的寒冷天气续航里程比声称的续航里程低48%，而Model 3下降了33%，Seal下降了23%。

Tesla Model 3 Vs. VW ID.7 Vs. BYD Seal: Which Electric Sedan Is Best?

The Model 3 Highland is not only the cheapest to buy but also the most efficient and easiest to charge, UK review finds.

The Tesla Model 3 has had the global market for affordable electric sedans all for itself for the better part of the past five years.

But competition is getting stiff, both from China and Europe. Probably the most noteworthy rivals for the Tesla Model 3 at the moment are the BYD Seal and the Volkswagen ID.7.

Get Fully Charged

The (somewhat) affordable electric sedan segment is getting more crowded

The BYD Seal and Volkswagen ID.7 are some of the most serious rivals the Tesla Model 3 has seen so far. But the Model 3 hasn't stood still and is a very compelling package in facelifted Highland guise.

Both are global models that will be sold pretty much everywhere around the world, with the notable exception of the United States for the BYD Seal—at least for now.

What Car? tested all three electric sedans side by side in the United Kingdom to find out which one is better; bear in mind that the Model 3 featured in the video is the facelifted Highland version that the U.S. doesn't get yet.

The test consisted of a 556-mile roundtrip from London to Wales, which gave the testers plenty of time to assess the three EVs in various scenarios, including driving on the freeway, on secondary roads, and in the city.

The road trip also provided an opportunity to compare the charging experience for the three electric sedans. As you can imagine, the Tesla Model 3 has a big advantage over its competitors: the vast and reliable Supercharger network.

Mind you, some Tesla Superchargers are now accepting non-Tesla EVs as well, with the BYD Seal and VW ID.7 actually using one station in Wales during the test—albeit for a slightly higher price per kilowatt-hour than the Model 3.

Besides being the cheapest, the Tesla was also the quickest and the easiest to charge. The guys also agreed that the Tesla Model 3 has the best interior of the test, having taken a big step up from the pre-facelifted model.

The Tesla is also the cheapest of the three electric sedans, starting just under 40,000 pounds, whereas the BYD costs 45,700 and the Volkswagen is priced at 55,600 pounds. However, the ID.7 is a larger car and it comes in a fully loaded launch edition; more affordable variants will follow.

It wasn't even a contest when it comes to charging costs and efficiency: the Model 3 Highland needed 59.2 pounds worth of charging to cover the trip—half the cost of what the ID.7 required—and it averaged 3.6 miles/kWh versus 3.1 for the BYD Seal and 2.8 for the VW ID.7.

To make the comparison as fair as possible, the guys took the electric sedans to the Milbrook Vehicle Proving Ground where they simulated freeway, rural, and city driving in winter conditions, rotating the drivers as well.

The Tesla won once again, but the real story here was that the ID.7's cold weather range was 48 percent lower than the claimed range, compared to a drop of 33 percent for the Model 3 and 23 percent for the Seal.
