Commuter - 25k

[Foxall]

Hi all,

I’m in need of a decent sized commuter vehicle.
I think I’ve narrowed it down to a few options but just wanted to see if there was anything I have missed or if there is anyone with experience of the below.

Diesel, auto, less than 40,000 miles ideally is what I’m looking for with a budget of around 25k

I’ve narrowed it down to:

Audi A6 40Tdi S line
BMW 520d
Jaguar XF 2.0d

All of the above 2018 or newer

I’m edging towards the A6 as things stand. Any other suggestions welcomed.

Thanks

Personally I'd err towards a 6 pot diesel for smoother power delivery and mid-range torque.

Other than the usual suspects there's the Maserati Ghibli

If a you definitely want a 4-pot then a Volvo S90/D90, Alfa Giulia and a E-Class 220d are worth considering. The Merc and Volvo may have a comfier ride than the Audi.

I am not fixed on a 4 pot however they are more than adequate for my needs and are generally a bit cheaper. Having had a few Mercedes including an E class 220d for my last few cars I fancy something else.

The Maserati is an interesting choice, I’ll take a closer look. Thanks.

Why isn't the E-class on the list? Maybe a bit bland compared with the competition?

Just fancy a change having had a few over the last few years including an E class.

Some alternates to the above.

Kia Stinger GT Line 200, a very good well appointed car that's a good steer & you'll also have 4 years/80k of warranty left too:

From your list the XF would be my pick.

Wow thanks. KIA is something I had not even considered, will take a closer look.

Don't go for a C7 A6 at this budget, which is probably what you're looking for. It was released in 2012/2013, and is quite an old platform now

This is the only C8 I ca nsee available for 25k
If you can stretch 26-28k then you'll get into a fairly high mileage C8, but with a decent amount of manufacturer warranty remaining

That is similar for the G30 5 series, don't get an F10, go for a G30. Better and newer car

I was indeed looking at C8 and G30 cars only. My budget can stretch very slightly. There are a few C8’s around £27k with less than 35000 miles and around 3 years old
