MG MG5

The MG5 is a surprisingly practical and stylish estate that gives family buyers a sensible, down-to-earth alternative to bland crossovers. As an electric wagon it blends everyday usability with low running costs and a cheeky dash of character, making it an easy pick if you value space and thrift over badge snobbery.

CUPRA Raval

The CUPRA Raval is a compact electric hatch that mixes hot‑hatch intent with genuine everyday practicality, pairing an unusually roomy, flexible boot with a modern Android‑based infotainment that feels responsive. It drives in a composed, traction‑rich way that suits city and family life, though the steering leans toward assuredness rather than playfulness and some climate controls rely on touch sliders that can be fiddly on the move.
