Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 takes the small-yet-practical GLB and adds much more power and four-wheel drive. Just don’t go thinking passengers in the back will enjoy any full-bore starts.

Pros
Stylish looks
High-class cabin
Impressively quick

Cons
Less fun than a hot-hatch
Cramped third row of seats
Alternatives have bigger boots

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Pros
Gives customers more options to choose from
Won’t lack in power relative to the competition around it
Equipped with the latest Mercedes technology

Cons
I personally like the GLA better
A three-row, seven-seater compact crossover could create problems of its own
Might be more expensive than expected

The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense is a seriously stylish electric car with comfy suspension and a stunning interior but it’s let down by cramped back seats and limited electric range.

Pros
Fabulous interior
Very comfortable to drive
Plenty of personalisation options

Cons
Cramped back seats
Alternatives are cheaper…
… and have greater ranges

By: 
carwow.co.uk

Not the EV we’d recommend, but if you like the way it looks and battery-power suits your lifestyle then by all means.

Pros
Bit different to look at and sit in,
as practical as ICE car

Cons
Ride comfort,
inconsistent brake pedal,
awkward infotainment

By: 
topgear.com

The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense offers enough range for most people, but it's far from the best electric car on sale.

Pros
Choice of trim levels
Characterful design
Fast-charging capability

Cons
Shorter range than rivals
Not a huge boot
Feels heavy
