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.

Renault Scénic

The Renault Scénic is a quietly clever family MPV that balances everyday practicality with unexpected flair, offering a roomy, flexible cabin that makes school runs and weekend escapes less of a chore. It won't dazzle like a sports car, but its composed ride, sensible tech and thoughtful storage solutions make it a superbly pragmatic choice for buyers who prefer substance with a wink.
