I think a 7 sec 0-60, a top speed of 153mph and the suspension/ chassis of a Golf GTI constitutes a sporty car. That and 400nm of torque of course which means mid range punch is immense. Some ev’s might be quicker for a very brief period of time but a GTD covers everything. All the above and pushing 60 mpg.
I have virtually the same diesel lump in my Ateca, and despite the obvious grunt, it in no way could be described as being sporty, despite having an irrelevant top speed of 140 mph and 0-60 in just over 7 seconds, in everyday driving a modern EV is much quicker and more economical, and Greta will be smiling at you
An Ateca is a different beast altogether. An SUV with good handling for what it is, an SUV. An everyday ev is quicker for a very brief period but after that, not a contender and it’s a question of praying hard when you get to the twisty stuff. Lets remember that something doesn’t have to be a supercar to be considered ‘sporty’.
