I drive an Outback every day; I had an X‑Trail as a courtesy car while mine was in for service. First impression after a few kilometres of driving — the suspension is a disaster. You get the feeling this car picks up every single imperfection in the tarmac. Also, at idle the engine causes noticeably more vibrations in the cabin than the Subaru. On the plus side, a more ergonomic gear lever and 360° cameras. But I wouldn’t swap...

Skoda Octavia Combi

The Skoda Octavia Combi is the sensible family wagon that somehow turns grocery runs and long trips into a pleasant, unshowy experience — spacious, practical and built like it prefers reliability over flash. With smart touches, clever storage and a cabin that feels grown-up rather than frugal, it’s an easy recommendation for buyers who want maximum utility without sacrificing comfort or style.

Great car with a dynamic 1.5 engine and a 7-speed automatic; a downside is the electronics, which often shut off—terrible when reversing!!! It could also have a bigger tank because it averages 7 liters and at most 700 km.
