A really lovely car with space for a wheelchair and much more, which we've had for almost 14 years and driven over 200,000 km with. Now the gearbox has failed and we'd like to buy a new one.

Maxus Euniq 5

The Maxus Euniq 5 is a no-nonsense electric people carrier that pairs a cavernous interior with an unexpectedly polished cabin, so family duty feels a little less like a chore. It won’t set your pulse racing, but for buyers after fuss-free electric propulsion, flexible seating and clever everyday practicality, it’s a genuinely sensible and likeable choice.
