Unfortunately Citroën isn't sold here in the Americas, otherwise I would have chosen the C5.X!

It's indeed much more expensive, but it drives brilliantly. I have the automatic — fantastic. It's a bit noisy for such an expensive car, and servicing at a Subaru dealer isn't cheap. It's certainly not economical.

On the other hand, very little breaks and it will never leave you stranded. And that space... 500 litres more is really about a 40% increase.

NIO ET7

The NIO ET7 arrives like a calm thunderstorm — sleek, silent and unapologetically clever, turning motorway cruising into the sort of effortless glide that makes other cars feel noisy and rehearsed. Inside, it's all luxury sofas and smart gadgets that actually help rather than confuse, so buyers who crave tech and comfort will feel like they've upgraded their life without needing to spellcheck the manual.
