BMW i7

For buyers after serene luxury with a mischievous streak, it pampers rear-seat occupants while reminding the driver that BMW still knows how to make a big car feel alive.

Citroen C4

Citroën C4 wears its French eccentricity with confidence, pairing bold, sculpted styling with a supremely comfortable ride that turns mundane commutes into a gentler affair. If you value relaxed comfort, clever practicality and a car with personality rather than pretence, the C4 is a charming, sensible choice — and it won't make you miss the usual hot‑hatch theatrics.
