Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · NX4, facelift (2024)

Hyundai Tucson

Compact SUV with full hybrid drivetrain (1.6 T-GDi + electric motor), facelift of the fourth generation. System power around 215 hp; WLTP consumption around 5.6 l/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Boot 577 l, braked towing weight 1,650 kg. Indicative from-price; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · PHEV (SG2, 2023+)

Kia Niro

Plug-in hybrid crossover. Electric WLTP range 65 km; the WLTP figure of 1.0 l/100km applies only with a full battery and short trips. With an empty battery the car drives like a regular hybrid; then count on 5-6 l/100km (owner figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,300 kg.
