I've been driving the Symbioz Full Hybrid with the iconic trim for 3,500 km. I test-drove both cars. I think the win goes to the Symbioz. Good quality at a family-friendly price. Unfortunately the Opel is simply too expensive. Strangely, what never really gets mentioned is that the Symbioz's suspension is absolutely superb.

Genesis GV80

The Genesis GV80 feels like a boutique hotel on wheels, with striking looks and an interior that wraps you in plush materials and thoughtful details. It pairs a serenely composed ride with clever tech, making it the kind of luxury SUV that lets you enjoy the good life without shouting about the badge.
