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 EQB is an electric compact SUV that dresses Mercedes' premium feel in practical clothing, with flexible seating and a serene, composed ride that turns everyday errands into a small luxury. It won't thrill the enthusiast, but for buyers who want a smart, spacious and well-made EV with tasteful tech and real-world usability, the EQB is a sensible, slightly buttoned-up choice that impresses without shouting.
