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.

SsangYong Musso

The Musso is a no-nonsense pickup that blends rugged capability with surprisingly comfy cabin manners, perfect for buyers who want practicality over prestige. It may not turn heads at the coffee stop, but its sensible layout, useful load space and low running costs make it a very pragmatic choice for workdays and weekends.
