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.

Lotus Emeya

The Lotus Emeya arrives as a sleek electric grand tourer that manages to marry Lotus' trademark razor-sharp handling with enough practicality for daily life, so you can enjoy a corner with a grin and still fit the shopping. Inside it feels surprisingly grown-up — plush materials, smart tech and a driver-focused cockpit make it a tempting choice for buyers who want electric performance without losing the joy of driving.
