I’m similarly torn currently. My XC60 is coming up to 7 years old in March. I can afford newer, but really don’t want anything more digitally complex. Mine was registered 31 Mar 2017, so just before the tax increases and just before the model changeover to the newer version. I can do pretty much everything I need to keep it maintained myself with basic tools, but do the odd software upgrade every few years at Volvo for a minimal fee.
I’m really tempted to go older again when mine eventually dies - just keep mechanically simple vehicles going indefinitely. But ULEZ will screw us all soon enough.
