Nice-handling SUV. Steers much more sharply than my previous SUV, a Lynk & Co 01. Has almost the same options as the Lynk. I wanted fully electric, though. The Marvel has a realistic range. So far it has never shown the WLTP figure of 402. But whatever it shows, it achieves. And I've experienced that very differently before (Lynk & Co 01 and Mazda MX-30). In short, a very good, comfortable EV. Downsides: abrupt steering corrections and annoying warning beeps. These can be switched off, but you have to do it every time. It's also a shame that the otherwise great navigation has no Dutch voice.

Aston Martin DBX

With the DBX, Aston Martin has wrapped its trademark sports-car drama into a high-riding package that looks like it could sprint off the driveway and into a gala, while the cabin pampers occupants with handcrafted leather and theatrical attention to detail. Behind the wheel it feels like a grand tourer that learned how to tackle country roads, serving up surprising agility for such a stately presence and keeping rivals honest with its rarefied blend of performance and luxury.
