What's the best compact hybrid SUV?
I am looking for a replacement for my old Land Rover Freelander. Are there any smaller cars with a reasonably high driving position? Ideally a hybrid, but not fully electric as I need to be able to drive 300 miles about once a month.

The Ford Puma is a very good, compact mild hybrid crossover: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/puma-2020/
If you want a full hybrid (that is capable of driving on pure electricity at low speeds) then I'd suggest the excellent Toyota C-HR: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/toyota/c-hr-2016/

Bigger than original Freelander. 2.2-litre belt cam diesel. Incredibly good off-road. Robust interior. More fuel efficient 2WD model from 2011 with no rear diff to fail.
