BMW 2 Series Active Tourer

The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer turns the family MPV into something you’d actually want to park outside a café, pairing compact practicality with surprisingly premium cabin flair. It won’t thrill like a sports car, but it drives with the composed poise you expect from the badge and keeps daily life easy and un-fussy.

details

Land Rover Range Rover Velar

The Range Rover Velar marries sleek, pared-back styling with genuine off-road poise, so it looks at home in the city yet won’t flinch at rougher roads. Inside, a luxurious, tech-forward cabin pampers occupants while keeping the driving experience confidently in command — and yes, it somehow makes an SUV feel undeniably chic.
