Vauxhall Frontera
Peugeot 2008
VS
If you want unashamedly rugged, the Opel Frontera still wears its rough‑and‑ready off‑road badge with chunky looks and simple, go‑anywhere mechanics, whereas the Peugeot 2008 plays the smarter, city‑first crossover with sleek styling and the tech you actually use every day. Pick the Frontera for honest durability and a sense of adventure; pick the 2008 for refinement, economy and an interior that feels a lot newer than its price tag suggests.
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.
