The Smart attracts with its power and charging. I ended up choosing the ID7, though. The decision was influenced by it being European and by my three years' experience with the ID4. The ID4 has been an excellent vehicle.

Range is completely wrong compared to what’s shown. In reality you can only rely on about 60% of the distance. The boot only opens for whoever has the key? That’s a massive headache for my work.

It is a super comfortable car with a charging from 10-80% in less than 20 minutes. This car is also a very economic car as it is fully electric.

Bentley Bentayga

The Bentley Bentayga wraps top-tier luxury and SUV practicality into one impeccably finished package, with a hushed cabin and amenities that pamper both driver and passengers. It’s the sort of car that signals success with understatement — a tailored suit on wheels that makes long drives feel like first-class travel.
