I'm on my third Nissan Qashqai since 2013 and this current one (petrol/automatic) will be three years old in May 2022. Recently my partner bought a Mazda 6 so we have two roomy cars siting on the drive. So I think it's time for me to change to something smaller and more environmentally friendly.

I'm now retired and don't drive long distances every day. In fact, some days the car doesn't leave the drive or only travels a few miles. However, I need to be able to drive from the West Midlands to Essex or similar distance on occasions to visit family.

I've been spoilt with the Qashqai and its top of the range features, comfort, reliability and high driving position. Is there something smaller that fits the bill?

The replacement car can be new or second-hand up to three years old. A small/medium hybrid or electric automatic with lots of spec including heated seats are preferable. My budget would be to use the Qashqai in part-exchange and then fund the rest. I hope you can help.
