Looking to the future, things really aren't so bad. We're big fans of the new Rivian R2 — in fact, we have one on order for our One-Year Road Test fleet. The BMW iX3 is a blast to drive, and it'll be followed by the electric i3 sedan soon. The Mercedes-Benz CLA EV is an absolute range champ, and the GLC SUV and C-Class sedan will soon offer electric power. Need something cheaper? Startup automaker Slate has a small truck that can be turned into an SUV, and it's supposed to be seriously cheap.
