BMW 2 Series Active Tourer
BMW X1
VS
The BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the clever, family-focused MPV that swaps SUV posturing for genuinely useful space and a lower, car‑like ride, while the BMW X1 dresses up as a compact SUV with higher seating, tougher styling and a bit more composure on rutted roads. Pick the 2 Series for easy access, clever packaging and relaxed refinement; choose the X1 if you want presence, a firmer ride and the kind of image that makes neighbours do a double‑take.
Skoda Kodiaq
Dacia Bigster
VS
The Skoda Kodiaq is the sensible grown-up: roomy, cleverly packaged and quietly refined for family life, while the Dacia Bigster bangs the value drum — massive interior and tough price tag, but fewer niceties. Choose the Kodiaq for long-term polish and smarter detailing; pick the Bigster if you want maximum space and minimum spend — just don’t expect leather and laser-cut precision.

Skoda Kodiaq
VW Tayron

The Skoda Kodiaq is the no-nonsense family hauler: cavernous boot, clever storage, and a sensible price that makes sense when you’ve got kids and a budget.

VS
