What's a good replacement for my Skoda Yeti?
I currently have a 2014 Skoda Yeti. I bought it mainly because of my wife's arthritis as she couldn't get into my SAAB 9-3 easily. The Yeti is very easy to get in and out of for somebody with painful knees.
I've been very happy with it apart from one major problem which is the size of the boot. Because of the large wheel arches it is not wide enough to take my guitar and it is not long enough to take two large suitcases without folding the seats forward, which means the contents of the boot are visible. I now want to replace the Skoda Yeti with a newer car (brand new or second-hand) that is similar to the Yeti but has a larger boot.
I don't have the possibility to charge an EV at my home, while I'm also worried about range and charging time for electric cars. What can you recommend?

Take a look at the Skoda Karoq. It replaced the Yeti and is one of the best family SUVs on sale today, with a big boot and lots of standard equipment. As an alternative, consider the new Nissan Qashqai or Hyundai Tucson. The Tucson's available as a hybrid, which might be a good stepping stone towards an electric vehicle.
