Downsizing from a Jaguar XE - what should I buy?

I presently have a five-year-old Jaguar XE. I'm looking to change for a smaller car as I’m getting older and no longer do as many long journeys. However, I really enjoy the heated seats, sunroof, reversing camera and comfortable seats. Can I get these in a small car?

Heated seats and a reversing camera are pretty universal now, although a sunroof might take a little more finding. Take a look at the Volkswagen Polo – it's one of our favourite small cars, available with heated seats, an opening sunroof and a reversing camera. Also consider a Ford Fiesta – you can get it in posh Vignale trim, which feels like a mini luxury car.

Superb ride comfort and fuel economy. Eight-speed automatic is excellent. Interior is much improved from 2019.
Most versions good to drive especially ST-Line but significantly more refined, comfortable and practical, comes with active safety technology as standard.
More Golf-like than ever, will carry four large adults in comfort, huge boot, excellent TSI petrol engines.
