Given that space and comfort is a priority for you and your partner, we would suggest the Skoda Superb is ideally suited to your needs. The cabin is spacious and offers a high degree of comfort, and while it does have a lot of modern technology as standard, the Superb has a clear and simple layout that should be easy for you to use. Better still, the Superb is available as a plug-in hybrid with an automatic gearbox, so you will be able to drive short distances on electric power and charge at home if you wish - or simply run it on petrol if that is preferred.
