This depends entirely on your commute nature. For most, core technology that aids the drive should come first. Essential tech includes:

• 
  

  A responsive infotainment system with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto for seamless navigation and communication.

  
  


• 
  

  Advanced Safety Features like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitoring. These significantly reduce driver stress and risk in heavy traffic.

  
  


• 
  

  Cargo space, while important, is often secondary for solo commuters. Prioritize a usable trunk for a briefcase/gym bag over maximum volume. If you commute with kids, sports equipment, or need to run errands daily, then cargo/passenger flexibility (like a hatchback) moves up the priority list.
