It’s that time of the year again – the Easter weekend has arrived, giving families the perfect opportunity to take a short break away. If you’re planning to travel by car this Easter weekend, it’s worth remembering that congestion is often higher than usual across the UK’s road network. In fact, a study by the RAC and traffic analysts INRIX suggests that 2025 could be the busiest Easter weekend in the past three years.

In order to drive a vehicle on the public road in the UK, you’re required to pay Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), otherwise known as car tax. How much you pay depends on a few variables, including the age, emissions and list price of your vehicle, although some drivers and cars are exempt. When shopping for a new car, it’s important to research how much it’ll cost to tax in order to get a clearer picture of running costs.

If you’re looking for an affordable way into electric SUV ownership, the Leapmotor C10 is a good place to start. It’s thousands of pounds cheaper than its closest rivals, but it doesn’t feel like a cut-price alternative on the inside thanks to its well-built interior. It’s roomy, too, and comes with far more kit than you’d expect in a car of this price. If you can look past its slow charging speeds and fairly bland driving experience, the Leapmotor C10 makes a lot of sense for families on a budget.

The XPeng G6 is good to drive, boasts a spacious interior and is well equipped, so you shouldn’t discount it on the basis of never having heard of the brand before. Despite generic styling and some fiddly infotainment, XPeng is clearly hoping to make an impact with the G6, and a competitive warranty should also help sweeten the deal. This is the XPeng G6, and it’s the first car to be launched in the UK by the brand.

The Hyundai Inster might seem a bit pricey for what is a small electric car, but dig a little deeper and it feels worth it. The interior is much nicer than that of a Citroen e-C3, it offers a respectable range from its battery, comes well equipped and feels good to drive. It’s not the most comfortable in the class, and the MINI Cooper offers more driving feel, but the Inster takes a different approach compared to retro-inspired rivals and is definitely worth your consideration.

Carbuyer Rating4.0 out of 5Owners RatingBe the first to reviewThe MINI Aceman does a lot of things right: it’s fun to drive, looks unique and has a special-feeling interior. Its rear doors will also appeal to MINI drivers who need to carry passengers or child seats in the back. For many, that will win them over, but it’s also important to point out that most rivals offer more rear space and it’s a shame the Aceman doesn’t recharge faster on trips further afield.
