Can you recommend a hybrid family car?

I currently own a Hyundai Santa Fe diesel. We only use one car in our family and work from home so do our daily school trips and occasional trips no more than 6 hours round trips. Going full electric is still a bit worrying for me and we are looking at hybrid. I was hoping you are able to guide me or provide some info on hybrids, I assume petrol hybrid? I am leaning towards an estate or maybe another SUV. I'm not sure what reliable makes to look for.

Take a look at the new Hyundai Tucson. It's a really good family SUV that's available with hybrid or plug-in hybrid power. The latter might be a good choice if you can charge a car at home (i.e. you have off-road parking with access to electricity) as you'll be able to cover your local journeys under electric power alone. We'd recommend the Kia Sportage, too. This guide might be of interest: www.honestjohn.co.uk/guides/best-hybrid-cars/
