Urban Acrobatics

In town, these two little characters couldn't be more different in demeanour: one is all about relaxed confidence and feels like a sensible companion for tight streets, while the other still remembers its sporting aspirations and dances into corners with zest. Steering and responses are tuned to opposite ends of the fun-versus-ease spectrum, so your mood will decide which smile you prefer on your commute. Both make parking a hassle-free task, but they do it with distinct personalities — one that calmly slots in and one that seems to enjoy the game a little more.

Inside the Living Room

Step inside and you get two different interpretations of what city-car comfort should be: one cabin leans toward a bright, airy layout with intuitive switchgear that never feels pretentious, while the other courts you with sporty touches and seating that hugs a little closer. Materials and trim convey clear intentions — practical versus playful — but both manage to feel more grown-up than their compact footprints would suggest. Infotainment and ergonomics are straightforward in either, so you'll spend less time fiddling and more time enjoying the drive.

Road Feel and Long-Distance Attitude

On longer stretches each car shows its true temperament; one rewards with a relaxed, composed ride that soaks up motorway monotony, while the other keeps you engaged with a firmer setup that prefers rhythm and corner rhythm over cruising serenity. Noise and refinement levels are sensible for the class, though the more sporting option keeps its driver more involved and the other lets occupants arrive less fatigued. Your long-distance preference — serenity or engagement — will shape which companion suits your weekend escapes.

Practicalities That Matter Every Day

When it comes to everyday chores, small details add up: useful cubby space, easy rear-seat access and a boot that handles grocery runs with no drama are the real winners. The two interpret family practicality differently, one prioritising clever usability and the other squeezing a touch more versatility out of its layout. Either way, neither asks you to compromise on the basics that make life with a small car genuinely low-stress.
