Can you suggest some electric or hybrid SUVs for a £40,000 budget?

I currently have a 1.4 petrol Vauxhall Mokka X. I am looking to replace this with an electric or self-charging hybrid SUV. I need something to get my golf clubs in. I travel only locally but have relatives some 140 miles away which I visit every other month. I would like something comfortable have a budget of around £40,000.

We'd recommend a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It's a very comfortable and practical electric SUV with an impressive 238-mile range from the most affordable models. You could also consider the very similar Kia EV6 or the smaller Hyundai Kona Electric. Alternatively, if you rate your current Mokka X, the new Vauxhall Mokka-e is comfortably within budget. If you'd prefer a hybrid model, take a look at the new Hyundai Tucson.
