Rugged, practical and well equipped, the Dacia Logan MCV Stepway has many talents.
Pros Looks suitably tough Lots of equipment Very practical
Cons Only two engines No four-wheel-drive option Not as good value as regular Logan
The Dacia Logan MCV (standing for Maximum Capacity Vehicle) isn’t just the cheapest estate car on sale in the UK – it’s one of the cheapest cars, period, beaten out only by its closely-related sibling, the Dacia Sandero.
Pros Cavernous load area Cheap to buy Efficient engines Should prove dependable
Cons Cost-cutting touches are very annoying Driving dynamics below par Not worth the extra money over standard Logan MCV No Dacia is truly desirable
Pros Great looks inside and out Competitive 200-plus mile range A wide range of models to choose from
Cons It's too early to say We need to wait until 2021 to drive it
The Vauxhall Mokka-e offers buyers sharp looks, a decent range, a generous amount of standard kit and a relatively comfy and quiet ride. However, if you’re looking for a funky urban EV, there are cheaper options available, such as the Fiat 500 and Mazda MX-30. Those looking for an EV to ‘do it all’, meanwhile, would be far better off with a Kia e-Niro or Volkswagen ID.3, both of which are far more spacious and will go much farther on a charge.
Pros Pretty comfortable Impressively quiet at speed Plenty of standard kit
Cons e-Niro and ID.3 have longer ranges Cheap feeling interior Not that quick by EV standards
