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.

ZEEKR 001

The Zeekr 001 feels like a grown-up fastback from the future, blending sleek Scandinavian minimalism with surprising road presence that turns heads without shouting. Inside it's a premium, gadget-filled cocoon that makes electric driving effortless and enjoyable — a polished alternative for buyers who want something refreshingly different.
