What can I replace my Volvo V40 with?

I'm looking to change my current Volvo V40 1.6 automatic, which has been a great drive, economical and with low tax. I've looked for newer models but can't seem to find anything beyond 2020. Could you suggest a used car which might have similar qualities, either a Volvo or something else? I don't mind something similar sized or maybe an upgrade to something larger.

The Volvo V40 was discontinued in 2019 but not replaced directly, with the XC40 effectively taking its place in the range. You could look at the slightly larger V60, the latest generation of which was introduced in 2018 and is still on sale today.
