The Model 3 Performance is incredibly quick. But we're just as impressed with what else it offers. There's more than 300 miles of Edmunds Tested range, a quiet cabin, and nimble handling that doesn't come at the expense of ride comfort. The Performance still suffers from some quirks that all Model 3s have but overall it's a heck of a deal.

The sporty i4 M50 uses dual electric motors, providing confident all-wheel-drive traction and packing a wallop of power to the tune of 536 horsepower. That's more straight-line speed than you'll ever need, but it fell short of our expectations in the handling department.

In many ways, the new Dodge Charger represents a massive improvement over the previous Charger. The car's handling and interior are far superior to the old model, and the available 670 horsepower and all-wheel drive make it a potent performer on the street. However, the Charger's high cost, love-it-or-hate-it soundtrack, and lack of sophistication give it an uphill battle against more established EV rivals.
