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.

The Mercedes CLA Coupe cuts a rakish silhouette that blends sporty coupe lines with everyday practicality, giving style-minded buyers a premium image without shouting. Inside it feels more luxurious than its size suggests, with a slick cabin, intuitive tech and a composed ride — the kind of car that parties in the city and still shows up polished on Sunday morning.
