BMW iX

The BMW iX arrives like a tech-rich luxury SUV that refuses to shout, offering a serene yet authoritative road presence that suits both city commutes and long-distance cruising. Inside, its minimalist cabin wraps high-quality materials and clever interfaces around a driver-focused layout, making it feel more like a forward-thinking lounge than just another electric appliance — and yes, it still delivers the dynamic driving character you'd expect from a BMW.

Innovative, with generous interior space but at the expense of the boot. I have an M60 — strong acceleration and excellent self-charging, especially on the motorway.

The MG Marvel R combines striking, futuristic styling with a surprisingly spacious, gadget-packed cabin, giving shoppers a sharply styled electric alternative that punches above its price. It may not carry luxury-badge prestige, but it delivers honest daily usability and enough charisma to tempt buyers who want electric flair without the premium tax.

Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.
