As already mentioned the gap between the premium brands and the others is not as much..Due to few choices and circumstances i took delivery of sportage hev in august ,after 6 years of a volvo xc60 and mercedes before that.The sportage the far smoother,faster,economical ,of them all .No way would i of even considered the sportage if choices were like theu used to be.However the decline in choice in my case i feel worked out for the best for me personally..If the xc40,audi q3,bmw x1 came back on scheme, and i was offered the chance to swap.it would be a “no chance”.lol
