Very comfortable car to drive, easy to get in and out of, feels safer sitting higher up, nice design. Feels good now but we'll see how it is in the winter.

It’s our second Tucson — a diesel manual and a petrol automatic. I can only confirm that our next one in 2027 will be 99.9% a Tucson again. Gorgeous, pleasant, economical and sporty. Top choice.

Mercedes EQA

The Mercedes EQA slips into the electric crossover ranks with the brand’s familiar luxury polish, offering a quiet, fuss-free drive that feels perfectly at home in the city or on a country escape. Inside it’s neatly finished and tech-forward, projecting grown-up refinement even if it plays things a bit safe for anyone chasing outright excitement.

Fantastic build quality and genuine premium-class feel with lots of features like distance sensors or the speed-limit sign reader — things Mercedes still brags about in the GLC even five years later...
