Ideal A/B-class car. It has the price of a good A-class but the size and presence of a B-segment car. The annoying thing is that only a bike rack is allowed on the towbar (on my i10 from 2020 — the 2nd generation already after 2015). I’m still waiting for an iX10 version: a bit taller but otherwise the same.

Volvo V90

The Volvo V90 blends Scandinavian elegance with estate practicality, delivering a composed ride and an interior that's both luxurious and perfectly sensible. Packed with clever storage and top-flight safety kit, it's the choice for buyers who want to look classy while hauling life's chaos — without making a fuss about it.

The Volvo V90 is the heir to the traditional "manor Volvo" and a concept in itself in terms of space and driving feel. My choice would be the V90, because it's a good dog car. I'd prefer the AWD Cross Country, as it would give me ground clearance for country roads and a higher driving position.
