VW Tayron
VS
The Mazda CX-60 feels like a near‑premium Japanese SUV — taut handling, classy materials and a driver-focused personality — while the VW Tayron is the steady, sensible German: roomy, practical and unabashedly conservative. If you crave engaging dynamics and a bit of style, the CX-60 will put a smile on your face; if you need family-friendly space, straightforward tech and everyday reliability, the Tayron is the smarter, less flashy choice.
Kia EV6
Kia EV4 Sedan
VS
The Kia EV6 is a roomy, crossover-style EV that prioritizes range, acceleration and practical family space, while the Kia EV4 Sedan trims the package into a sleeker, more affordable, city-friendly saloon. Pick the EV6 for highway comfort and cargo versatility; choose the EV4 Sedan for sharper styling, easier parking and a lower sticker — either way Kia’s electric game is seriously convincing.
