After many new Volvos — including a V70 and an XC90 — I've now bought a lightly used XC40 from the dealer. In every respect it was the best choice.

More options and more room for discounts and negotiation, just as comfortable, better than a Hyundai Ioniq 5 (which is not comfortable at all), a Toyota bZ4X (feels cramped and has little space), a Tesla Model Y Premium (a bit too high-tech for me but otherwise fine), a Jaecoo 5 (entry-level, comfort impeccable but no options and little tech), and an Omoda (less comfortable and very few options). This is all a personal opinion — we drove the cars mentioned above and the Skoda seems the best value for money with good comfort, a variety of options and reliable after-sales service close to us.

Well‑thought-out and practical car (85x MY2024) that unfortunately lets you down because of system bugs and irritating driver‑assist systems that can't cope with ordinary autumn or winter weather without throwing up error messages and warnings.
