Fiat Ducato

The Fiat Ducato is a no-nonsense workhorse that turns practicality into an artform, with a cavernous, flexible load area and predictable, car-like driving manners that make long days behind the wheel far less tedious. It’s equally at home with a tradesman’s kit or a camper conversion, offering sensible packaging, easy servicing and the sort of reliability that keeps surprises—and down-time—to a minimum.

I drive both cars. The XC90’s boot is — contrary to the figures posted here — noticeably larger than the GLC’s when carrying five people. Overall the XC90 is clearly the more comfortable and, above all, the more stable — and therefore the safer — car.
