2nd child coming H1-22. 1st will be few months away from 4yrs by then. Is xc60 big enough for 2 car seats and 3 adults? Person in middle seat will be slim frame. Presume BMW X1 / Audi Q3 will be even smaller and not in contention? Xc60 is around £28k for 2017 version (~30-40k miles) and X1 / Q3 around £22k for 2018/19 versions (~30k miles). Any other car to consider? Wife adamant no MPV. XC90 would be ~£32k for 70-80k mile 2016 version.

I have an XC60 with one kid and a dog and it is packed for a road trip. We’re thinking of upgrading to the XC90 when our second comes along. Can’t say enough great things about the car though.

like

Other possibilities are Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace and Land rover Discovery Sport...2018 models with 7 seats run to £32k or so with 30-40k miles as alternative to xc90 if that was only route.

Also for context we live in London and most of journeys will be to school and shops and occasional country side / beach trip.
