If you had to choose irrespective of price, which one would you pick between the Polestar 2, Mustang Mac E and Nissan Ariya?

Me and my wife will have a baby soon so a bit of extra space at the back seats and boot will be a must.

Looking for something of good interior quality and long miles range

I really like my Polestar 2, but it is fairly restrictive in terms of size. We've just done a week in the Lake District (wife, 12yo, 15yo, and myself) and I really needed something 20% larger.

restrictive for the interior space or boot space? or both?

I’d echo that on the Polestar. Bootspace is fine, you’ll get a pram in fine, but the rear seats are on the small side. Isofix points are really easy to access. I’d expect the Mustang and Ariya to be bigger, although I’ve not driven them.

Polestar is a great car though, really like mine.

Both for me, though I appreciate that my children are getting to a size now where they're really just small adults. I don't think the transmission tunnel in the back helps matters, particularly on the rare occasions where we've had three people in the back. The boot is a good shape, but I can imagine a full pram and carrycot will pretty much fill it. That being said, we had a MK5 Golf GTI when our first was born, and we managed fine!

My kids at 9 and 6 are fine in the back of our Polestar and really like the car, although they had to go somewhere in the Touareg the other day having not been in it for a while and both kept saying how much space there was.

I really like it but I didn't buy it as a big practical car, given we have the Touareg for that.

Have you thought about an EQC? There are some cracking deals on them at the mo, prereg, second hand or lease.

We're not a tall family as well so the front seats aren't too far back.

Ive got 3 kids, 11,10 and 5, and the polestar was way too small. I looked at the Ariya and Mach and the Mach e was a nicer car over all. It was just expensive on my car scheme. I looked at the EQB and it was priced really well, nice inside and the 350 was a decent motor. Shame the range was poor.

Ive ended up going for a ID7, did flirt with the Enyaq vrs, the ID7 has slippier shape so the range is better and its a huge car for family duties.
