yes you can, that's why volkswagen reformed the old Chech brand Skoda to what it is now, rocksolid, everything works like it should and form follow function for a relative low budget. A Volvo these days is too expensive and "high end finished" for being utilitarian. You don't want to move furniture with a Volvo (because you will have scratch damage), a Skoda and it's hard plastic protection does not care at all..
The only other brand i know who does that a bit is Dacia, an old Romanian brand that is now used by the Renault group for the same reason as Volkswagen does with Skoda. But i don't think those brands are sold in the US.
This is how my car looks (mine is almost the same), a 2019 Skoda Octavia Wagon 1.0 TFSI. And that 1L 3 cilinder turbocharged petrol motor still pushes 110pk and 200nm torque. That is enough for this car, even in a hilly region with infamous tough slopes where i live. But the car is rock solid and never gives up. I had one before and it still drives arround with the new owner, 8 years after i moved to a new car (and 12 years old now).
