SsangYong Torres

SsangYong Torres cuts a rugged, purposeful silhouette that feels more expensive than its price tag, offering generously practical packaging and a no-nonsense feature set. It drives with surprisingly assured manners and genuine off-road appetite, making it a clever choice for buyers who want real SUV capability without badge snobbery.

details

Tesla Model Y

The Tesla Model Y is a tech‑forward family SUV that marries blistering efficiency with enormous interior space, calm motorway manners and the obvious convenience of Tesla’s charging ecosystem and over‑the‑air updates. Its minimalist, screen‑centric cabin and rather firm ride — plus limited rear visibility and the absence of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto — are trade‑offs that will bother buyers who prioritise comfort or traditional ergonomics.
