Which hybrid SUV should I buy?

I am looking to replace my existing Kia Niro 3 with a hybrid. My current car achieves 69mpg/70mpg on 16-inch wheels and replacement Niro 3's only come with 18-inch unless you opt for a plug-in hybrid model.
I need a reversing camera, sat-nav and five doors with room for my dog in the back, what would you recommend?

Take a look at the excellent new Toyota Yaris Cross. It's a conventional ('self-charging') hybrid capable of up to 64.1mpg according to WLTP tests. The entry-level Yaris Cross Icon comes with 16-inch alloy wheels and a reversing camera as standard. Alternatively, if low running costs and practicality are more important than having an SUV, consider the latest Honda Jazz. The Jazz Crosstar has a higher ride height than the standard car and comes with a reversing parking camera and 16-inch alloy wheels.
