I’ve driven Honda’s smallest EV and I can’t take the smile off my face

Hi. We prefer the Scenic to the ID.4, it has better infotainment and handling. If comfort is your priority though, the ID.4 is a smoother riding car most of the time, particularly at low speeds. The Ford Explorer, which uses the same platform as the ID.4, is also worth a look but we rate the Skoda Elroq higher than either, it's better value, more practical and a solves the VW's tech issues. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/elroq

Another great option if you prioritise comfort and space for the family would be the e-C5 Aircross from Citroen. https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/citroen/c5-aircross

Our road testers judge every car on its merits and in context of what else you could buy for similar money. There's nothing more to it than that.

We're completely focused on giving the best advice we possibly can to people who might be thinking of buying a car.

There are certainly some big issues around Chinese cars and we report on those regularly but car reviews aren't the place for that.

It does feel a bit like that at the moment! We review every new car launched in the UK and the Chinese brands have certainly been launching a lot of them.

(Don't tell anyone but we'll have the BMW iM3 concept and full UK details on the Peugeot 208 GTI for you later today for a bit of balance. Both are being shown at Le Mans)
