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.

Mercedes EQS SUV

The Mercedes EQS SUV blends limousine-level quiet and luxury with the commanding presence of an SUV, wrapping passengers in sumptuous materials and a futuristic, screen-dominated cabin. It drives with serene confidence and delivers the kind of effortless refinement that makes city commutes and long trips feel like first-class experiences — just be prepared for attention wherever you park it.
