Tesla has made the Model 3 a better value for 2019 by dropping the price on all three of the variants listed below by $2000. The Model 3 Performance also now comes standard with the the previously optional Performance Upgrade package, which includes 20-inch wheels with summer tires, upgraded brakes, a carbon-fiber spoiler, aluminum pedal trim, a lowered suspension, and a 10-mph increase in top speed (to 155 mph).
Pros Quick acceleration and nimble handling, real-world-usable driving range, lots of future-is-now technology.
Cons More affordable variant may never arrive, driving range doesn't hold up on the highway, stark interior layout.
Pros Explosive acceleration at any speed Class leading in-car technology and driver assistance systems Easy to drive with established charging infrastructure availability
Cons Charging infrastructure in Australia lags behind the USA Some build quality issues Handling not quite as sharp as we expected
A less expensive battery pack is expected to debut later in the year. Aside from a few ergonomic issues, the 2019 Tesla Model 3 is one of the best electric vehicles on sale today.
Pros Tesla prestige at a lower price Class-leading performance and handling More technologically advanced than rivals Supercharger network access for long-distance driving
Cons Touchscreen interface design can lead to driver distraction No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay support Limited cargo capacity and interior storage
New model for 2019.Part of the first Urus generation introduced for 2019.The 2019 Lamborghini Urus comes with all wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic.
Pros Ability to share the Lamborghini ethos with up to four passengers Powerful turbocharged V8 engine and responsive powertrain Impressive on- and off-road performance
Cons Large exterior footprint for limited cargo space Absolute disregard for rear visibility Not for the introverted
It was quite possibly the first successful river crossing in a Lamborghini in decades. Not that others haven't tried. Plenty of curious things, we imagine, have happened in Lambo's road cars. And certainly someone forded a river in an LM002, back when the Rambo Lambo was fresh. But this was different. This Lamborghini, the Urus, isn't a devoted exotic. And it isn't a sworn off-roader. It's neither, and yet it's both. We went to Iceland to get familiar with the brand's second-ever SUV and to see if Lamborghini's carbuilding talents extend beyond its glittering wedges of decadent speed.
Pros Enormous spectrum of capability, exclusive blend of German temperament and Italian flair, Lambo quick.
Cons Complex, heavy, Lambo price tag.
