Replacement for Outlander PHEV?
Discussion
My Outlander PHEV is going back to the lease company in a couple of months and I am undecided as to what to get for a replacement. I originally chose the car as it was extremely cheap a company car and I wanted to try out electric power, but over the past few years have come to see the advantages of the SUV size for family duties.
I am not going to get another company car, will be buying/leasing privately so am looking for a replacement. Have discounted another Outlander as I find the seats very short and uncomfortable. Given the diesel backlash and my enjoyment of electric drive I am looking at hybrid alternatives but there are not many out there.
BMW X5 PHEV looks promising and just about affordable, Lexus RX is interesting but is not a plug-in hybrid, Porsche Cayenne PHEV would be great but seems expensive. If I switch from SUV to larger cars then there is the Porsche Panamera PHEV which is a bit left field and expensive but not a lot else!
Anyone got any info on these or alternatives I should consider?
(I do have a deposit on a Tesla 3 but I think this may be a bit too small and it will be another year at least before they are available)

C-hr looks a bit small and does not to seem to be a plug in hybrid, but the xc60 t8 is a great suggestion. I had not heard about it, so will keep an eye on the Volvo website to see when more info is released.
Shame about the x5 battery size but I will probably still try and get a test drive in one and would like to see if my commute route is achievable on a single charge.
