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 XC60

The Volvo XC60 blends Scandinavian elegance with a strong focus on occupant safety, delivering a calm, composed ride and a well-crafted, user-friendly cabin. It’s a practical yet premium compact SUV that balances comfort with confident road manners, ideal for buyers who value refinement and everyday usability.

I own an XC60 2.4 D3 and I'm delighted. I suspect that later generations of the car are only better.
