Hi, I am contemplating between the VW Tayron R-Line, BMW X1 LWB, MINI Countryman petrol, and Audi Q3. I like to drive myself and go on road trips every quarter. Kindly suggest which one would be better in terms of features and comfort.

I am currently driving a 2022 honda city zx cvt. Have driven around 35k so far. Feel an ich to upgrade and have narrowed down to Q3, Kodiaq and Tayron. Since all three share same underneath - engine, gearbox and infotainment (for later two). Which one would be a sensible shift considering Q3 face-lift is around the corner and it felt the only car missing bare minimum which others are offering like ventilated seats, bigger infotainment, etc? I am inclined towards Q3 manly for its size and the ON road cost being competitvr of the three. Pros and cons of owning this vehicles from owners is welcome.
