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 · NQ5 (2021+)

Kia Sportage

Compact SUV with a full-hybrid drivetrain (1.6 T-GDi plus electric motor), technically related to the Hyundai Tucson. System output around 215 hp; WLTP consumption about 5.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Boot 587 l, braked towing weight 1,650 kg. Indicative starting price; check the official configurator for the current figure.

Profile · II T6 Recharge plug-in (facelift 2024)

Volvo XC60

Mid-size SUV on the SPA platform, on the market since 2017 and facelifted in 2024. The T6 Recharge plug-in couples a 2.0 petrol engine to an electric motor and a 14.7 kWh battery; system power 350 hp and WLTP EV range 78 km (manufacturer figure). WLTP consumption 1.0 l/100km depends heavily on the charging ritual; owners report 5 to 8 l/100km once the battery stays empty (public forums, not measured by us).
