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.

Mitsubishi Outlander

The Mitsubishi Outlander is a sensible family SUV that blends roomy practicality with a calm, assured ride—ideal for school runs and weekend getaways. It won’t set pulses racing, but its tidy interior, straightforward equipment and low-stress ownership make it a smart, unfussy pick for buyers who prefer reliability over flash.
