Parkers – the definitive resource for car buying advice in the UK – has partnered CAR to bring you the award for the Best Large Electric Car in the prestigious Parkers New Car Awards 2021. And the winner has been revealed today (26 October) is the Tesla Model 3 – one of a total of 21 award-winning vehicles announced by Parkers.
Best electric cars
The march of the electric car continues into 2021, with a raft of new entrants adding to what is becoming an increasingly crowded sector. The Tesla Model 3 takes the new Best Large Electric Car award in a maturing market and does so on the back of its overall victory in the Parkers New Car Awards in 2020. Despite being a few years old now, the Model 3 is still the state of the art, and best all-rounder in this market.
It finishes ahead of the Kia e-Niro, which is a roomy family hatchback that’s blessed with an impressive near-300-mile range and the Polestar 2, which impressed with its beautifully-crafted and functional Scandi-cool interior and leading–edge Google integration.
Keith Adams, Parkers.co.uk Editor, said: ‘The Tesla Model 3 returns to the winner’s rostrum for 2021. This charismatic EV really delivers where it counts, though, thanks to a long driving range, excellent performance and the advantage of Tesla’s unmatched Supercharger network. Top it off with decent leasing deals that can get you in one from around £400 per month when leasing, and you can see why it’s won for a second year running.’
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.
