Top 5 Electric Saloons to Replace Your Fossil-Fuel Car
As the automotive world pivots towards zero-emission propulsion systems, saloons are making a grand comeback, proving themselves as the most efficient body style. Whether you're aiming to save the planet or simply want to enjoy ultra-low running costs by swapping your conventional ICE car for an electric one, saloons are your smartest bet. Plus, the refinement and elegance of some recently launched models put even SUVs to shame. Here are the top five electric saloons you should consider to replace your fossil-fuel family car.
Tesla Model 3
The Tesla Model 3 is the reigning champ of electric saloons, holding its ground with impressive reliability over seven years. Besides its robust track record, it excels in convenience with over 1,600 Tesla Supercharging points across the UK, featuring a no-fuss plug-and-charge system.
Inside, the Tesla Model 3 boasts a spacious cabin enhanced by a light colour scheme and a full-glass roof. The 360-degree acoustic glass ensures a serene drive, blocking out road and wind noise to enhance the refinement.
The 15.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system is the heart of the car, seamlessly controlling most interior functions with its smooth and intuitive interface. Enjoy a dual wireless phone charger in the front, while the kids are entertained with an 8-inch rear touchscreen. And if you have a furry friend, the dog mode keeps your pet comfortable with the climate control system running while you’re away.
With a phenomenal range of up to 390 miles, you can cruise for up to three weeks on a single charge if you're a typical UK driver. Plus, with a peak charging rate of 250 kW, you can add up to 175 miles of range in just minutes!

Hyundai IONIQ 6
If the Tesla Model 3’s minimalist approach doesn’t quite suit you, the Hyundai IONIQ 6 might be more to your taste. This “electrified streamliner” from South Korea is larger and more spacious, offering a cocoon-shaped interior with a flat floor and a luxury lounge vibe, accentuated by an advanced ambient lighting system that adapts to your speed.
The cabin features clever storage solutions, including a flat surface on the centre console perfect for working during charging breaks, and a drawer-style glove box. The fully reclining Relaxation Seats in the front are perfect for a quick nap, while the rear seats offer ample legroom and heating for added comfort.
The Hyundai IONIQ 6 is your go-to for utility during leisure activities. On a camping trip, you can charge your children’s electric bicycles, power an induction cooktop or a barbecue, and even run a projector for movie time, all from the car’s battery. It’s also a lifesaver during power outages, allowing you to run essential home appliances.
With a peak charging power of up to 220 kW, you can go from 10-80% in just 18 minutes. A full charge takes you up to 338 miles.
