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.

NIO ET5 Wagon

The NIO ET5 Wagon blends sleek fastback styling with the sensible practicality of a wagon, delivering a premium-feeling cabin and clever cargo space that keeps life neatly packed. For buyers who want electric refinement without sacrificing family-hauler utility, the ET5 Wagon offers quiet, eager performance and smart packaging that makes weekend escapes and daily commutes equally enjoyable — yes, even with the dog and the golf clubs.
