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 Mercedes-Benz AMG A 45 is a compact, five-seat performance car that delivers 421 hp and a 3.9 s 0–100 km/h sprint while remaining usable with a 370 L trunk. It offers good value in its segment, though its FWD layout and modest cargo flexibility may limit winter and cargo-heavy use.
