A slightly inflated price relative to the equipment included in this car.

Comfortable, but feels a bit firmer (over small bumps) than the Q5. You can tell the car has some heft!! The electric power — 388 PS / 285 kW BEV — is incredible. The battery drops pretty quickly if you push the beast a little. The advertised 600 km range is generous on paper; expect more like 500, or even 450 in winter. The onboard technology is surprising and pushed to the extreme. After trying it, it's hard to go back to a non-electric model.

Nissan Townstar

The Nissan Townstar is a pragmatic city companion that blends clever packaging with a calm, easygoing drive, making it ideal for urban errands and small-business hauls. It won't win any style contests, but its tidy interior, sensible features and no-nonsense character make it a genuinely useful buy for people who value practicality over pizzazz.

A fantastic model with true SUV character. Noticeably more space, generous luggage capacity and a high driving position — just like an SUV — and, best of all, finally a petrol engine (instead of the diesels the competition offers), which is a great alternative. LPG installation is possible, too.
