How tall are your parents as I sometime find that Kuga/Sportage type vehicles are sometimes to high when it comes to entrance & exit from these type of cars so that may be something worth checking out before making your purchase.

Ford Kuga Titanium X Sport (I believe the anti collision can be retro fitted by a main dealer)

Or the Renault Captur Signature Nav

Yep, new XV is a cracking bit of kit.

Thanks some good shouts here. Kuga and xv look goood.

Budget - there’s not really one just more a case of finding a suitable vehicle that ticks all the boxes.

I suppose Range Rovers etc are out of the question as they are a bit too high up to get into for elderly parents.

I'm sure the XC60 has autonomous city braking. I think there was a face lift so could be after that.

mk2 Tiguan might be worth a look? AEB standard, sub £20k

Funnily enough we’re looking at one this weekend, looks much nicer than the previous shape

Loads of them went on 2yr low mileage leases in 2016 and will be back on the market now, certainly ours is back at BCA soon, SE Nav/SEL are great spec
