What hybrid crossover should we replace a Nissan Qashqai with?

My nephew, his wife and two children (aged 8 and 6) are moving from London to a leafy village in Sussex. They have £16000 to spend on a hybrid, plus a 2009 Qashqai. They want something no smaller than the Qashqai and 90% of their new journeys will be less than 2 miles. They will have an EV charging point in their new house. What should they go for, please?

We'd recommend a MINI Countryman PHEV. It's a desirable choice that'll be capable of covering most of their journeys under electric power alone. It'll have a similar boot capacity to the Qashqai but, if they'd prefer something a little bigger, look at the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
