What features did you need that couldn't be offered in a sedan or small hatchback?

Any who lives in snowy conditions could want the additional ground clearance or weight for traction.

I wanted a car that was relatively quiet and a plug in hybrid. Not a big list of demands by far.

But so many of the PHEVs are SUVs nowadays.

Why do you want a plug in hybrid? Haven’t they been shown to be useless for the climate?!
