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.

Volvo EX90

The Volvo EX90 feels like a Scandinavian fortress on wheels, combining serene luxury with smart safety features that make everyday driving remarkably calm and confident. It dresses cutting-edge electric technology in understated elegance, so buyers who want peace of mind without shouting about it will find it hard to resist.

Full of faults — at least every other day there's something that needs to be fixed. Consumption 24 kWh/100 km in summer; in winter the range is half of what was promised. The safety would be good if the promised features actually worked.
