Your car your money, buy what car you want. The only thing I would say is that the XC60 is as big, possibly bigger than the Sorento, so go for the XC40. If you go for new, I suggest you take out the 5 year service contract.

I'll echo what everybody else is saying it's YOUR car so you go with what you feel is right for you.
As said holidays are once a year & maybe a roofbox on an XC40 will give you that bit of extra space you need without having to hire. I'd look at buying ex-demonstrator or nearly new to save a bit of money & if possible purchase a service plan up front to cover off those future costs. In the future I would think the Volvo would retain more of it's value than the Kia. I've heard good things about Kia's but when dad had one (Venga) yes it had lots of bells & whistles but..... things like the ergonomics let it down. The seats for example weren't very comfortable & didn't really have the right amount of adjustment to resolve it. My sister on the other hand love's Kia's she's just got her 4th & never really had any issues with any of them.

Kia
XC40 is a car, the Kia Sorento is a heavy, solid 4x4 with low range and diff lock. A proper diff lock that causes a big clunk underneath. ( a feature recommended by Jeremy Clarkson )

But the car you want. Put good winter tyres on it and enjoy.
