The VW ID.7 has been crowned Germany's best car for 2024, earning an impressive grade of 1.5 from ADAC. This electric vehicle stands out for its spaciousness, safety, and efficient performance, boasting a consumption rate of 18.1 kWh per 100 km and a commendable range of 485 km.
Priced at nearly 57,000 euros, it has successfully outperformed competitors such as the BMW i5 and Porsche Taycan. The growing acceptance of electric vehicles is evident, with 74 out of 84 tested models receiving favorable ratings.
In contrast, the Dacia Duster languishes at the bottom of the rankings with a grade of 4.1, primarily due to safety concerns. ADAC's findings highlight the dominance of electric cars, which excel in performance, quiet operation, and environmental friendliness, despite higher price points.
Meanwhile, the UK has surpassed Germany in electric vehicle registrations, with a notable decline in Germany's market share attributed to stricter regulations and the cessation of purchase incentives. The VDA and auto expert Dudenhöffer emphasize the need for a consistent strategy to revitalize Germany's electric vehicle market.
Additionally, the DS Automobiles' DS3, DS4, and DS7 models showcase the blend of luxury and eco-friendly mobility, particularly with the DS7 Édition France, which offers a substantial electric range. The landscape of the automotive industry is shifting, with electric vehicles at the forefront of innovation and consumer preference.
