City cars: Can a big saloon still cut it in a modern city? Or is an EV now the only option? |
|
When you think of the ideal vehicle for city driving over the decades, you may have memories of executive saloons chauffeuring high-flying professionals from one meeting to the next. A method of transportation that now feels antiquated in the era of low-emission zones, electric vehicles and cramped car parks. If you want to drive in the city nowadays, you'll probably need something a little more efficient. But don't worry, you won't have to scrimp on the comfort or tech by going for something a little smaller!
A car like the Audi S8 - a big flagship saloon - is no longer the bastion for the latest tech. In the digital age, electric vehicles like the Cupra Born need all the mod cons they can get to keep up with competitors. They've also got to have plenty of performance too for when you venture away from the city streets. We put these two very different vehicles head to head to find out if a big performance saloon like the Audi S8 can cope on the modern city streets, and if the Cupra Born can provide the right mix of everything you need for your city commute.
