Can electric SUVs now rival the very best petrol-powered luxury cars?

In this episode of Kickin’ Tyres, Adam and Tim recap a hectic run of three car launches in three days, including first drives of the MY26 Polestar 3, and a comparison with the Bentley Bentayga Speed.

They explore whether high-performance EVs are finally delivering on their promise, or if traditional luxury SUVs still hold the edge.
