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.

DS Automobiles DS 9

The DS 9 is a striking French luxury saloon that pairs haute couture styling with a calm, composed ride that pampers passengers. Inside, meticulous craftsmanship and quirky DS details give the cabin real personality, making it an attractive choice if you want to stand out without sacrificing comfort.
