Well first of all, I can’t think of any car that can beat Škoda Octavia for the cargo space! So you’ll be disappointed with almost any car.iknowgungfu wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:58 pm Hi all,
New to the forum as considering purchasing an XC40. We are a family of 4 (6yr old and 4 yr old) and I'm trying to get an impression on size of the car for things like Holidays (remember them?).
Currently have a Skoda Octavia which has lots of boot space. Just wondering how the XC40 would compare? I'm expecting that it would be a bit smaller given the different style of car. However, I would be grateful for feedback from actual owners.
Online reviews dont seem to consider storage in boot or car an issue. We are well past the age of prams etc. So it is more for packing the luggage and other paraphernalia slightly older children come with! I'm assuming I would be using a roof box for holidays (currently have one I can fit to the Skoda). Other than that I'm assuming for general use it's fine too.
Thanks in advance.
I used to have a “small” Peugeot 207 SW that actually has a pretty big booth and this Christmas we went to the market with our fresh XC40 D4 to pick up the Christmas tree, like we do every year. Although XC40 has bigger booth, my impression is that the booth space is shorter, and I’m talking about rear seats lowered. It is possible that is shorter, because all passengers have more leg space in XC40 then in smaller cars, the car is pretty wide so you don’t loose much cargo space by shortening the booth.
Go and buy yourself a XC40 and I’ll tell you why. First of all, you want your whole family to be safe, right? Well, that’s the main reason for all fathers to think about getting a Volvo. And we can’t be more right
Second, the older your kids get, the less toys and accessories you’ll need to put in the car when going on a trip (especially holidays). In 5 years time, your son will “hate” going with you anywhere and all he would like to have is an iPad and a football
Really, you’ll have less items that can float around and more suitcases, which fits perfectly in XC40, thanks for asking.
Come back here in a few months and let us know how comfortable and enjoyable it is to drive the beauty. Enjoy!
