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

Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is a pragmatic, family-friendly SUV that pairs impressively low running costs in hybrid form with a relaxed, motorway-friendly ride and a generous rear seat and boot that make everyday life easy. Its cabin leans toward practicality rather than polish—expect plenty of hard plastics and a tidy infotainment system that’s quick to respond but buries some climate functions in a touchscreen and can nag with drive‑recorder popups, so buyers wanting a premium feel or sporty dynamics should look elsewhere.
