Pros & cons

Skoda Karoq RS

Efficient for its class with a 6.4 combined figure
Quick 0–100 km/h in 5.8 s for confident overtakes
Practical family space with 5 seats and 521 liters of cargo
Good value in its segment at around 35,000
Petrol-only; not for buyers seeking hybrid or electric efficiency
Not aimed at hardcore performance driving
Five seats only; no third row for larger families
Price near 35,000 may still exceed basic family options

Honda Pilot EX-L

Efficient for its class, with low energy use and a 500 km range for commuting and trips
AWD traction adds confidence in wet or snowy conditions
Quick enough for daily merging and passing (0-100 km/h in 6.5 s)
Good value in its segment at a 35,000 price point
Only five seats; not ideal if you need a third row
450 L trunk may feel tight for cargo-heavy use
Not aimed at performance driving; enthusiasts may want sharper dynamics
For very long single-leg highway travel, the 500 km range will still need charging stops
