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.

The Kia Picanto Electric focuses on city driving, pairing responsive acceleration with a usable 300 km range at a price that offers good value in its segment. Limited cargo space and a modest 27 kWh battery make it better for daily commuting than long-distance travel.
