I've been driving the Kia Niro since 2019 and am still very happy with this car.

Mitsubishi Grandis

The Mitsubishi Grandis is a no-nonsense MPV that hides a surprisingly sleek profile, making family duty look almost stylish. It’s spacious, easy to drive, and built to shrug off daily chaos, though the cabin feels dated and it prefers a relaxed cruise to any hot-hatch antics.
