    Hi

    Have a Budget of 25k & looking for a 181 upwards and hoping for a bit of luxury, leather interior that kind of thing. Have shortlisted to a Mercedes Cla and the Hyundai Tuscan

    Anyone got any suggestions for that budget that would be worth a look at

    cheers

    Perhaps a bit more detail would elicit more helpful replies.

    Is the 25k cash or total budget mixing finance, cash, trade-in?
    What are your requirements in a car? CLA and Tucson are very different motors. What will you use it for? Mileage P/A, etc

    I'd take the 25k and buy a used s90 or 2nd gen CLS but thats just me. might not actually suit you.

    Comfort, style and doing below average mileage and I'm mixing finance.

    You are in the last model CLA in 2018 and whilst not a bad car are not a patch on the revised version, having direct experience of both I would not go for the prior model CLA.

    I have an 18 220d, brilliant fuel economy and power, a very comfortable cruiser, just a tad more in your budget gets you one.

    Well youve then nominated a Tuscon
    Wouldn't be too much in the style stakes anywhere.

    Got a certain size you need.

    There's a 2020 Leon FR in Mccoys that id consider stylish.
    Comfy?

    Push it up a bit and get a 530e.

    25k would buy a Merc C300e or BMW 330E also with change.

    Or go mental and buy a 2008 M3.

    Why 18 onwards?
    €25,000 will get you into a 17’ 520d or E220d. Absolutely miles ahead of a Tuscan in every way but particularly a bit of luxury like you say yourself.

    CLA is absolutely tiny inside

    Ok.
    Full leather with heated seats
    Parking sensors and camera
    Memory seats
    Led interior lighting
    Adaptive cruise, lane assist
    Electric powered boot

    A 2018 model without adblue would be about 21k from the uk
