Citroen Berlingo
Peugeot Rifter
VS
When the Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Rifter go head-to-head it’s basically the same clever van in two different outfits: the Berlingo is the pragmatic hero with cavernous loadspace, clever cubbies and a soft, comfortable ride, while the Rifter dresses up the same underpinnings with sharper looks, a more polished interior and livelier steering. Choose the Berlingo if you need a no-nonsense family/workhorse that swallows bikes and shopping without fuss; pick the Rifter if you want a bit more style and sparkle when the road gets twisty.
Mazda CX-30
Skoda Kamiq
VS
The Mazda CX-30 is the stylish, driver's compact SUV that blends near-premium looks and crisp handling, while the Škoda Kamiq plays the sensible card with clever packaging, a roomier boot and lower running costs. Pick the CX-30 if you want a more emotional, fun-to-drive compact with a nicer interior; choose the Kamiq for everyday practicality, brilliant space use and better value for families and commuters.
