Kia EV3

The Kia EV3 arrives as a cheeky, practical electric compact that manages to feel both premium and playful, delivering crisp handling and a roomy cabin that's perfect for urban life.

Toyota C-HR

The Toyota C-HR wraps efficient hybrid drivetrains in dramatic, European‑tuned styling and a noticeably upmarket cabin, delivering composed ride quality and easy city manners that suit style‑minded commuters and company drivers. Accept a tighter, dim rear seat, a fiddly high‑lip boot and occasional CVT grumble plus persistent warning chimes, and you get a very economical, confident little crossover that prizes individuality over outright practicality.
