Skoda Enyaq
VW ID.7 Touring
VS
The Škoda Enyaq is the roomy, no-nonsense EV SUV that puts practicality and bang‑for‑buck front and centre, while the VW ID.7 Touring is a sleek, aerodynamic estate that prioritises range and motorway comfort — sensible family hauler versus long‑distance specialist. Buy the Enyaq for space, simplicity and value; choose the ID.7 Touring if you want a more refined cabin, better high‑speed efficiency and the sort of long legs that turn weekends into epic road trips.
Audi Q6 e-tron
BMW iX
VS
The Audi Q6 e-tron feels like a precision-engineered salon on wheels—sleeker, more driver-focused, with crisp handling and an interior that whispers luxury rather than shouts it. The BMW iX is the bigger, bolder statement: cavernous, supremely comfortable and range-minded; pick the Q6 for the grin-inducing drive, the iX for relaxed long-distance authority and road-presence.
