This is the same amount of power as the Kia Niro EV and the base front-wheel-drive Volkswagen ID.4. The all-wheel-drive model has two motors, but the power only goes up by a little, to 215 horsepower. That’s not nearly as powerful as the all-wheel-drive Hyundai Ioniq 5 (320 hp) or the all-wheel-drive ID.4. During our first test drive, both the front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models sped up quickly, but don’t think you’ll be able to beat a Tesla in a drag race.
