I've had the 225 Hybrid GT for two years. Super car if you have, say, solar panels on the roof and charge from a socket — with a 10–15 km commute you drive on electricity for next to nothing. On the motorway at 140 km/h it uses about 6.0–6.3 l/100 km, superb comfort and quietness — and that stylish look!!!

Genesis G70

The Genesis G70 blends sleek, low-slung styling with a cabin that feels more bespoke than bargain-bin, delivering driver-focused dynamics that make long runs and twisty roads equally entertaining. With premium materials, thoughtful tech and a value proposition that nudges past its German rivals, it’s the kind of compact executive that feels serious but doesn’t take itself too seriously.
