The Citroën Berlingo is a no-nonsense work van that pairs cavernous practicality with a surprisingly comfy, car-like driving experience.

Renault Symbioz

The Renault Symbioz feels less like a traditional car and more like a rolling living room that's been told it's allowed to drive — its flowing lines and minimalist cabin are pure concept-car theatre that teases the future of everyday transport. For buyers with an eye for design and a taste for tech-forward ideas, the Symbioz is an alluring vision of what Renault could offer tomorrow, even if it's not yet a model you can park in your driveway.

I've been driving the Symbioz Full Hybrid with the iconic trim for 3,500 km. I test-drove both cars. I think the win goes to the Symbioz. Good quality at a family-friendly price. Unfortunately the Opel is simply too expensive. Strangely, what never really gets mentioned is that the Symbioz's suspension is absolutely superb.
