A new YouTube video from Sam CarLegion showcases three hot electric crossovers for a series of competitive drag races. The segment is more crowded than ever, giving consumers a plethora of performance choices, but they’re not all created equal. The video determines which of the three is the best to take to the drag strip.
All three electric crossovers feature a dual-motor configuration and all-wheel drive. However, their outputs are different. The Genesis is the most powerful, producing 483 horsepower (360 kilowatts) with boost and 516 pound-feet (699 Newton-meters) of torque. The Mustang Mach-E develops less power – 480 hp (357 kW) – than the Genesis, but it makes up for it by producing 634 lb-ft (859 Nm) of torque. It’s also the heaviest at 4,920 pounds (2,231 kilograms). The GV60 weighs 4,862 lbs (2,205 kg).

The Tesla Model Y is the weakest of the bunch, developing 385 hp (287 kW) and 376 lb-ft (509 Nm) of torque. That’s a big downside, but it makes up for it by also being the lightest of the bunch. The Tesla weighs only 4,402 pounds (1,996 kg).
The first race sees the Mustang rush from the starting line well ahead of its two other competitors. However, he could not maintain that lead, with the GV60 not only catching but also overtaking the Ford before both cars crossed the finish line. The Tesla took third place. Race two has the same order of finish, although the Tesla finished much closer to the Mustang this time around.
The rolling race from 38 miles per hour (60 kilometers per hour) puts the trio on a level playing field. The Genesis still wins, crushing the other two, but this race also allows the Tesla to beat the Mustang, taking second place from Ford’s electric crossover.
Electric vehicles are leveling the playing field when it comes to performance, and the segment is only expected to get more crowded in the years to come. Consumers love crossovers, and automakers love making fast electric vehicles — for a price. None of the three crossovers in the video above are cheap, but they have plenty of performance for that price.
