Really? I think Renault are on a roll at the moment.
The Renault 4, Renault 5 and Megan seem really competitive.
The new Nissan Leaf (made in UK) also looks pretty good.
VAG seem to have lost the plot (“let’s replace all the controls with a small, janky touch system that leaks personal information to hackers”) but their ID.7 isn’t total crap.
Comparing Renaults to the Chinese brands I’ve seen (MG and BYD) the Chinese brands were a bit cheaper but they really felt it with cheap interiors and uncomfortable seats. I’d rather pay a grand more and get a car I like.
- stavros 1y agoI have a BYD Seal and it's by far the most luxurious and best quality car I've owned, and my previous car was a Mercedes. I don't know what you've tried, but it doesn't feel cheap at all
- Lio 1y agoI only buy mass-market cars. I've looked at MG 4s, 5s and BYD Dolphins. I didn't rate any of them. I view all cars as depreciating liabilities and so have little interest in buy either Seal or its Mercedes equivalent.
- izacus 1y agoID.7 is the most sold EV model in EU so "not total crap" is an interesting definition. Other ID models are selling well too

- izacus 1y agoEh, it was Germany this year: https://www.goingelectric.de/zulassungszahlen/2025/Februar/ https://www.goingelectric.de/zulassungszahlen/2025/Februar/ Still, 5th is far from "eh" - on a test drive it ended up quite a nice Passat level car.
