GWM WEY 05

The Wey 05 punches above its weight with striking coupe-SUV styling and an interior that feels far posher than its price tag suggests. For buyers who want cutting-edge tech and cabin comfort without the prestige tax, it’s a tempting proposition — just be ready for plenty of curious glances on the road.

Kia EV6

The Kia EV6 looks like it sprinted off a concept stage, its bold, futuristic lines wrapping a surprisingly spacious and grown-up cabin. On the road it delivers crisp, immediate thrust and composed handling, with enough everyday practicality and slick tech to make ditching petrol feel like an upgrade rather than a compromise.
