But which is your option to win the coveted vehicle of the Year gong? let us understand in the comments below:
Ford B-MAX
We said: “The Ford B-MAX tops the class, as much for the method it drives as its capability to swallow people as well as bags, although interior high quality isn’t at VW requirements as well as there’s only one auto option.”
Auto reveal verdict: 5 stars
Hyundai i30
We said: “Bold styling, classy cabin as well as decent dynamics make new Hyundai i30 a serious VW Golf rival, however the trip is firm, the interior style is a bit fussy as well as residual values are poor.”
Auto reveal verdict: 4 stars
Mercedes Benz A-Class
We said: “The stylish Mercedes A-Class has ditched its dumpy MPV styling as well as is now a appropriate rival to the Audi A3 as well as BMW 1 Series, however there are some concern marks over the interior quality, the trip as well as the costly options.”
