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.

Toyota RAV4

The Toyota RAV4 is a pragmatic, family-friendly SUV that pairs impressively low running costs in hybrid form with a relaxed, motorway-friendly ride and a generous rear seat and boot that make everyday life easy. Its cabin leans toward practicality rather than polish—expect plenty of hard plastics and a tidy infotainment system that’s quick to respond but buries some climate functions in a touchscreen and can nag with drive‑recorder popups, so buyers wanting a premium feel or sporty dynamics should look elsewhere.

The Corolla Touring Sports is the pragmatic estate: lower, nimbler and generally more economical, with a clever loadbay that keeps luggage organized without the SUV tax.
