Comparison:
Range
The Maxus Mifa 6 touts an impressive range of 520 km (323 miles) on a single charge. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Kona Electric offers a respectable 484 km (301 miles), whereas the Nissan Leaf e+ cruises up to 385 km (239 miles). Bringing up the rear is the Renault Zoe ZE50 with a range of 395 km (245 miles). Clearly, the Maxus takes the cake here by offering the longest journey before you’ll be hunting for a charging station.
Acceleration
Now, zero to 100 km/h dashes often set hearts racing, but alas, the Maxus Mifa 6 keeps its figures close to the chest. On the contrary, the Hyundai Kona Electric sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just under 7.9 seconds. The Nissan Leaf e+ manages it in 7.1 seconds, and lastly, the smaller Renault Zoe ZE50 takes 9.5 seconds. Not a land speed record, but suitable for urban escapades.
Power
The muscle under the hood is where things get interesting. The Maxus Mifa 6 packs a punch with 177 horsepowers, electrifying its front wheels. Comparatively, the Hyundai Kona Electric delivers 201 hp, the Nissan Leaf e+ churns out 214 hp, and the Renault Zoe ZE50 offers a more modest 135 hp. Clearly, theres no lack of oomph, but the Maxus feels a tad leisurely among these zippier counterparts.
Charging Time
Charging—oh, the Achilles heel for many an EV. The Maxus Mifa 6 with its 70 kWh battery brings practicality to charging stops. The Hyundai Kona Electric supports DC fast charging up to 75 kW, juicing up to 80 in about 54 minutes. The Nissan Leaf e+ fast charges to 80 in about 40 minutes on a 50 kW charger, while the Renault Zoe ZE50 swings in with a refreshingly speedy 30 minutes for an 80 top-up on a similarly potent charger. The Maxus, details thin, yet indicates a comparable norm.
Price
Budget consciousness amidst EV exuberance? Naturally. The Maxus Mifa 6 enters the fray at around $33,650 (£24,700, €28,950). Meanwhile, the Hyundai Kona Electric takes the wallet to about $38,600 (£28,200, €33,200). The Nissan Leaf e+ stands at $39,900 (£29,200, €34,800), and the compact Renault Zoe ZE50 is a tad more palatable at around $32,000 (£23,300, €27,500).
