How does it compare?
Range
The BYD Yuan Pro boasts an impressive 401 km (249 miles) range, pampering those who dread frequent charging stops. The Hyundai Kona Electric, however, edges out ahead with a stellar 484 km (301 miles). On the contrary, the Kia e-Niro curls up at 385 km (239 miles), and the modest Nissan Leaf Plus hangs in there with 364 km (226 miles).
Acceleration
No official 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) data for BYD Yuan Pro yet. Nevertheless, we see a thrilling sprint to 100 km/h in the Hyundai Kona Electric in 7.9 seconds. The Kia e-Niro shows no slouch, getting there in about 7.8 seconds. The Nissan Leaf Plus jostles onto the scene, clocking a slightly more leisurely 7.4 seconds.
Power
BYD Yuan Pro delivers 95 horsepower but is left eating dust compared to the 204 horses muscle revved out by both the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia e-Niro. The Nissan Leaf Plus strikes a middle ground with 214 horsepower, scarcely wielding a difference.
Charging Time
The BYD Yuan Pro features a 47 kWh battery. While charge times can hinge on the charging infrastructure, competitors stand on roughly equal ground. The Hyundai Kona Electric with its 64 kWh battery and the Kia e-Niro nearly match each other in rapid charging, taking about 54 minutes to juice up to 80%. The Nissan Leaf Plus, straddling 62 kWh, takes an hour to 80% on a quick charger.
Price
The show-stopping figure here is the price. The BYD Yuan Pro comes out by far as the victor at around $14,900 (¥13,500/€12,600) - a steal by any measure. The Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia e-Niro ask for deeper pockets, typically priced at $37,190 (£33,900/€36,000) and $39,090 (£35,000/€38,000) respectively. Meanwhile, the Nissan Leaf Plus tags along with a pricing slip around $38,200 (£34,500/€37,100).
