Hi looking for some alternatives on what car to go for next. Criteria are:

1) air-conditioned seats and auto/self-park (must)
2) Comfy size (eg SUV)
3 Under 20k for a 2016 model or newer with 60-80k miles

So far the only 2 cars I can come up with are Land Rover discovery Sports in HSE Luxury trim, or a Kia Sorrento 4.

Anything else that fits those criteria?

Thanks

Will have a think but the first SUVs around £20K which might have park-assist dependant on spec are Ford Kuga, Seat Arona, Toyota C-Hr.

Is A/C seats a show-stopper? It's an unusual one if so - curious to know the reasons for it being a "must have".

I've had a couple of cars with A/C seats in the past and barely ever used it.
The direct air on my back with no circulation space was uncomfortably cold. Using the normal AC to regulate cabin temp all round was preferable.

If you're looking at a diesel Discovery Sport, try and find an earlier 2.2-litre version. It's a bit agricultural but is a proven PSA unit used in all kinds of stuff.

JLR later used their own 2.0-litre (Ingenium) engine, which is nothing short of a disaster.
