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.

Nissan Primastar Bus

The Nissan Primastar is a sensible people-mover that puts practicality and flexible seating ahead of flash, making it the go-to for tradespeople, shuttle duties or large families who need space without fuss. It’s unpretentious on the road and easy to live with — not the car to win style points, but the one that earns them every time you need to load up and go.
