  Hyundai Ioniq 5

  4.2/5

  With its space-age styling and bold character, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has established itself as one of Europe’s most acclaimed and more interesting electric SUVs since its launch in 2021. Its striking retro-futuristic design meets with advanced EV technology, plus a spacious interior and surprisingly agile dynamics. It’s built on Hyundai’s dedicated E-GMP platform, offering ultra-fast charging up to 800v. Now established in the market, the Ioniq 5 continues to impress and feel fresh, with a choice of battery sizes and rear- or all-wheel drive, plus a host of advanced tech and safety features. It’s not cheap, but its low running costs, strong resale values, and Hyundai’s reputation for reliability give it appeal.

  Hyundai I20

  4.0/5

  In a class traditionally dominated by the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa, it can be tough for new entrants to muscle their way in on the action. However, since launching back in 2009, that is exactly what the Hyundai i20 has managed to do. The current car offers bold styling, generous equipment levels, and technology pulled straight from Hyundai’s more premium larger models, which all come together to offer a genuine alternative to the more established Corsa.. Despite the changes, the i20 has never lost sight of what made it good in the first place – class-leading practicality and dependable engineering. This has only been helped by a 2023 facelift, meaning that the i20 represents a very strong proposition for any urban drivers.

  Honda Jazz

  4.0/5

  Space and versatility have been bywords for the Honda Jazz since the original model made its debut in 2002, bringing new levels of passenger comfort, load volume and versatility to the supermini class. The latest generation, introduced in 2020, delivers more of the same, but with an advanced hybrid powertrain and a focus on comfort, practicality, and advanced safety. It’s a refined and well-engineered contender in the supermini class, with a loyal following. The latest model focuses on all the things that made the original Jazz great – it’s unassuming and there’s no performance model, but it delivers on its brief with complete competence.

  Genesis GV60

  4.2/5

  The Genesis GV60 made quite a statement when it arrived in 2022, marking the luxury arm of Hyundai’s first foray into the all-electric SUV segment. Its striking design and impressive specification quickly won attention – particularly given that its flagship Performance model is (even to this day) one of the fastest electric SUVs in its class. Pitched squarely against models like the Volkswagen ID.4, Kia EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E, the GV60 is an appealing, if unconventional, choice, offering an impressive electric range, a highly sophisticated cabin, outstanding performance, and refined handling. It’s also a tremendous used buy for those seeking luxury at a reduced price-point.

  Ford Mustang Mach-E

  4.2/5

  The Ford Mustang Mach-E raised a few eyebrows when it first appeared in early 2021, using the name of a V8-powered coupé legend in the body of a five-door electric SUV. It was a move to link electric cars to Ford’s performance heritage, and despite the cynicism at the time, it has been a success – especially given that the range-topping Mach-E is actually one of the fastest Fords ever made. The Mach-E was also Ford’s first purpose-built electric SUV for Europe, blending a few iconic Mustang styling cues with its electric technology, and targeted at models such as the Volkswagen ID.4 and Kia EV6. Today, it’s regarded as an appealing choice, with a much longer range than the early cars could offer, a technology-rich cabin, terrific performance and sharp dynamics.

  Cupra Born

  4.0/5

  Cupra has come a long way since it split from parent company Seat to become a standalone brand back in 2018. Much of that progression has come from this car - the Born - which arrived as Cupra’s first mass-production electric vehicle. Helped by lots of Volkswagen Group tech, the Born remains a core part of Cupra’s line-up and is a popular option thanks to its sharp design and practical interior.
