Kia Stonic
Kia XCeed
VS
In the city crossover showdown, the Kia Stonic is the cheeky, budget-friendly pocket SUV while the Kia XCeed steps up as the sleeker, more grown-up option with sharper handling and extra space. Pick the Stonic for low running costs and easy parking; go for the XCeed if you want a more planted drive, better refinement and room for weekend gear — at a slightly higher price.
Skoda Octavia Combi
VW Golf Variant
VS
If your shopping list includes a boot that can swallow flat-pack furniture and weekend sports equipment without complaint, the Skoda Octavia Estate is the sensible giant with massive practicality and smart value, while the VW Golf Estate packages similar underpinnings into a neater, more refined drive. Choose the Octavia for space and no-nonsense family life; pick the Golf if you prefer sharper handling and a classier cabin — both are solid buys, so it comes down to whether you want a cargo champ or a better-behaved commuter.
