BMW iX1
Mercedes EQA
VS
The BMW iX1 is the feisty compact EV that still drives like a BMW, with sharper handling and a practical cabin, while the Mercedes EQA prefers to charm you with a softer ride and a more polished, luxe interior. Choose the iX1 for driver engagement and better value, or the EQA if you want plush comfort and glossy tech — both sensible electric choices, it just depends whether you want to smile on the bend or on the boulevard.
MG MG5
MG MGS5 EV
VS
If you want a practical, wallet-friendly electric estate, the MG5 delivers class-leading boot space, sensible range and no-nonsense value for everyday life; the MG S5 EV, by contrast, leans into SUV styling, sharper tech and a bit more punch when the lights go green. Choose the MG5 for honest, family-focused practicality — pick the MG S5 EV if style, refinement and a touch of extra performance are worth the extra cash.
