VW ID.7

VW ID.7 arrives as Volkswagen's electric grand tourer, pairing a low-slung, aerodynamic silhouette with a calm, understated interior that prioritizes comfort and space.

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.

McLaren GT Series

The McLaren GT takes the supercar blueprint and stretches it into a grand tourer, marrying thrilling pace with genuine long-distance comfort and a cabin that’s actually liveable. If you crave weekend escape capability without surrendering driver engagement, this is the car to consider — though it does attract a fair share of admiring glances.
