I drive both cars. The XC90’s boot is — contrary to the figures posted here — noticeably larger than the GLC’s when carrying five people. Overall the XC90 is clearly the more comfortable and, above all, the more stable — and therefore the safer — car.

Genesis GV70

The Genesis GV70 pairs coupe-like styling with a sumptuous, high-quality interior that feels more like a bespoke lounge than a typical compact crossover. It drives with composure and poise, offering a supremely comfortable daily companion that quietly challenges established luxury names while giving buyers plenty of premium kit for the money.
