Car A
Volkswagen ID.3 Max
A compact electric car tuned for city use, the ID.3 Max blends a strong 204 hp output with a 425 km range and a practical 5-seat setup. Its 385 L boot and 160 km/h top speed make it less ideal for cargo-heavy tasks or performance-focused driving.

Audi RS 3 Sportback
The Audi RS 3 Sportback combines 0–100 km/h in 3.8 s and AWD traction with a five-seat compact layout. Strong everyday pace and control are balanced by a small 282 L trunk and 8.8 L/100 km consumption that make it less suited to cargo-heavy road trips.
