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.

Renault Trafic Transporter

The Renault Trafic is a practical, workhorse transporter that hides thoughtful cabin comfort behind a tough, utilitarian exterior, so you can tackle a busy week without sacrificing sanity. It’s a sensible choice for buyers who want reliability and clever flexibility rather than flash, with just enough character to make daily hauling feel less like a chore.
