@Glos Guy – Any information helps so thanks again.
I forgot the XC40 isn’t very economical. I’ve been on a waiting list for four months for support with logistics in sorting out a driveway, so still not sure whether I’d be able to have a plug in hybrid (which could help alleviate the fuel economy issue). I’d be doing local runs mostly, very rarely long distances, so running off electric at home seems the best answer.
The XC60 has perfect boot lip level and overall size but can’t hold out on that returning to scheme.
Interior is pretty dated, yes.
Will try and get to the next nearest Hyundai dealership as the Tucson looks pretty nice on outside, just haven’t seen much of the interior. Will need to take a look at your thread again to check the engine and if it’s suitable. Glad you’re enjoying it.
VW has always been my favourite manufacturer. Always had Golfs, which are not a practical option anymore. The Golf estate available is not a great spec so unless they put the GTD estate on, I won’t be considering one. Will keep an eye on the cost of options with the Tiguan. The R-Line Tiguan was pretty comfortable when I sat in it and looked pretty well put together. The plastic slab wouldn’t be an issue for me as a driver so not too bothered.
Thanks again and I’ll keep investigating my options.
