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.

I took the car for a test drive. I was impressed by the handling, the trunk, the interior space — huge compared with other cars — and the equipment. I’ve been driving Toyotas for 43 years and am impressed by their reliability. Ultimately, the warranty Toyota offers on the bZ4X completely convinced me.
