Mercedes-Benz B 300 e
A five-seat AWD EV that balances everyday pace with a long 500 km range and usable space for families. Less suited to performance thrills or hauling very bulky loads.

The Kia EV3 Base combines all-wheel-drive confidence, a usable 400 km range, and a practical 5-seat layout at about 35,000, making it a solid city-focused choice with good value in its segment. Performance is brisk enough for daily use but not aimed at enthusiasts.
