Kia EV9

The Kia EV9 is a bold, boxy electric SUV that looks like it could swallow your luggage and the in‑laws, with an interior that feels more lounge than cockpit and a presence that makes smaller rivals suddenly feel shy. On the road it delivers calm long‑distance composure with enough shove to keep overtakes effortless, and its tech and practicality make it an easy, sensible choice for buyers who want electric without compromise.

details

VW Tiguan

The VW Tiguan is a calm, family‑first compact SUV that impresses with cavernous rear room, a versatile boot and sofa‑like seats that make motorway miles feel effortless, while its revamped infotainment is quicker and cleaner than before. It does demand a healthy budget and some compromises — the cabin leans heavily on touch controls for climate and the limited rear child‑seat anchoring and wide mirrors can frustrate buyers who prize simplicity or maximal flexibility.
