What to check on the e6
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
What the figures tell you
The electric motor with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its rating is 29.2 kWh/100 km: about 88 kWh for 300 km. Rated range: 301 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. A 300 km weekend costs about $13.14 in energy at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,050 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic. For luggage, 453 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the e6 answers the big questions. A test week in the e6 tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$1,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $4.38 in electricity. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $43.80 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
