Ideal A/B-class car. It has the price of a good A-class but the size and presence of a B-segment car. The annoying thing is that only a bike rack is allowed on the towbar (on my i10 from 2020 — the 2nd generation already after 2015). I’m still waiting for an iX10 version: a bit taller but otherwise the same.

Kia EV9

The Kia EV9 is a bold, boxy electric SUV that looks like it could swallow your luggage and the in‑laws, with an interior that feels more lounge than cockpit and a presence that makes smaller rivals suddenly feel shy. On the road it delivers calm long‑distance composure with enough shove to keep overtakes effortless, and its tech and practicality make it an easy, sensible choice for buyers who want electric without compromise.
