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 Sprinter Bus

The Mercedes Sprinter is the go-to people-mover for operators and families who want robust practicality wrapped in a premium feel, with a flexible interior that can be tailored from shuttle to mobile office without breaking a sweat. Sporting the three-pointed star and the driving manners of a tall estate, the Sprinter Bus is comfortable, dependable and refreshingly easy to live with day after day.
