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.

MG Marvel R

The MG Marvel R combines striking, futuristic styling with a surprisingly spacious, gadget-packed cabin, giving shoppers a sharply styled electric alternative that punches above its price. It may not carry luxury-badge prestige, but it delivers honest daily usability and enough charisma to tempt buyers who want electric flair without the premium tax.

Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.
