Choosing between the Nissan Qashqai and the Volvo EX30 comes down to whether you prioritise traditional family-car space or compact electric style. The Qashqai offers a sensible and comfortable take on the family SUV with plenty of room and physical buttons that are intuitive to use on the move. Meanwhile, the EX30 is a sleek, small electric car with a jacked-up ride height, stylish looks, and a wonderfully comfy ride around town, though you will have to contend with a much smaller boot and tight rear seats.
