Rubbish car.

Features clearly not as polished as other EV SUVs at similar prices (e.g. Volvo EX40 / BYD Sealion 7))

Alarms about driver fatigues every 10 minutes.

Well-built car, reasonably priced — unlike the inflated costs of German cars.

Hyundai Kona

The Hyundai Kona wears its personality on the outside with bold styling and sprightly handling that turns city driving into something a little more fun than a commute. It blends practical space, modern tech and sensible running costs into a compact, stylish package — a smart pick if you want flair without paying luxury prices.

More modern car with much more advanced technology than the S-Cross. The S-Cross is functional, economical and good, but dated.

Good car overall, but the finish isn't top‑notch — the paint is very fragile and chips at the slightest knock.
