In many ways our XC40 T5 hybrid is the best we have driven, in that it suits Mrs W as well as it suits me, which hasn’t always been the case. The brakes are as good as any car I’ve had. I don’t know what’s wrong with yours Brydo. As for the Land Rover. You don’t say what model, but they are all in a different price bracket so I would hope you should appreciate the difference. But have you driven a hybrid XC40 as a comparison?
