Can you recommend a compact SUV with a comfortable driving seat?

I'm looking for a new compact SUV with a very comfortable and supportive driver's seat - preferably leather or equivalent. My budget is £30,000 for a new car (not second hand). I currently drive a Skoda Karoq and find the bucket seats very stiff and low - even on the top models it's difficult to raise the back of the seat to ensure hips are higher than knees. I'd love another Skoda but not sure they offer anything.

The Volvo XC40 has very comfortable seats so I would give that a go. Here's our review:

As well as having comfortable seats, the XC40 has relaxing suspension and a very quiet cabin.

Seat comfort can be very be very specific to you, so it might be worth trying a dealer where there is a range of cars for you to sit in.
