The little-known Japanese: versatile and very roomy, in the tradition of the old MPVs sacrificed on the altar of stupid SUVs.
And when it comes to the competition, there’s no contest between a reliable Honda powertrain that really consumes what it promises — even less at times — and a pure all-show PSA unit that drinks far more fuel than advertised.

Fast, dynamic, very versatile. Boot just adequate but interior space excellent, even for people taller than 1.90 m. Fairly quiet and quite frugal on fuel. Sturdy and very reliable. Downsides: brakes and suspension noisy during manoeuvres, engine effective but noisy under acceleration. If driven with a bit of care, it's not hard to reach 30 km/l in town.

VW ID.Polo

The VW ID.Polo brings classic Polo sensibility to the EV age with a calm, refined ride, an unusually large boot, and refreshingly simple controls with real buttons. It favors easygoing efficiency and family-friendly practicality over playful handling or high-speed autobahn pace, and the smaller-battery versions ask for a bit more planning on long trips.
