Kia EV6

The Kia EV6 looks like it sprinted off a concept stage, its bold, futuristic lines wrapping a surprisingly spacious and grown-up cabin. On the road it delivers crisp, immediate thrust and composed handling, with enough everyday practicality and slick tech to make ditching petrol feel like an upgrade rather than a compromise.

I love this car — it moves super fast, makes me feel safe and wonderfully agile, like it’s got the power of a gasoline V8.

Great for city and recreational driving. Highway speeds and winter reveal its appetite for electricity — range drops quickly. The low beams could be brighter; the high beam is potent! Other than that, the car really pampers you.

Genesis G70

The Genesis G70 blends sleek, low-slung styling with a cabin that feels more bespoke than bargain-bin, delivering driver-focused dynamics that make long runs and twisty roads equally entertaining. With premium materials, thoughtful tech and a value proposition that nudges past its German rivals, it’s the kind of compact executive that feels serious but doesn’t take itself too seriously.
