3 cars · UK figures · two hosts to win

Seal Design vs IONIQ 6 Long Range RWD vs Model 3 RWD

01The cut

Model 3 RWD leads on the figures you would actually use. You would notice RRP and After grant. You would not notice UK grant, Seats and Width.

A win is counted only where the gap is one you would notice, and only where two independent hosts agree on the figure. One-source numbers still print. Missing figures stay blank. We do not invent a score.

* Tesla publishes cargo volume its own way — often boot plus frunk, to the roof. It is not a VDA litre. We leave the asterisk rather than pretend they match.
