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.

SsangYong Rexton

The SsangYong Rexton is a no-nonsense full-size SUV that pairs rugged, go-anywhere bones with a surprisingly plush cabin, making it an appealing choice for buyers who want capability without premium-brand prices. It won’t turn heads like a luxury badge, but its generous space, sensible features and honest practicality make it a smart, down-to-earth family hauler — a savvy pick if you value substance over status.
