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.

VW Tayron

The VW Tayron combines a roomy, practical interior with a composed, comfortable ride that suits both daily commuting and longer journeys. With a restrained, modern design and a focus on straightforward tech and safety, it’s a sensible choice for buyers who want Volkswagen refinement without unnecessary flash.
