What's the best hybrid with comfortable, adjustable seating?
I'm looking for a hybrid car with a reasonably high driving position. It doesn't have to be an SUV but must have good visibility and a comfortable, adjustable driver's seat. I have trouble with my low back and several of the cars we've looked at have ultra firm seats that press in the wrong places or are moulded and cannot be adjusted. Can you help?

Have you looked at the new Kia Niro hybrid? It's just arrived in dealers (there may be a waiting list though) and offers a higher, comfortable driving position without being too big. There's also the Toyota Yaris Cross, the Toyota Corolla/C-HR or the new Honda HR-V in that category.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Easy to drive. Impressive fuel economy and low running costs. Space for a family.
Very efficient hybrid hatch with surprisingly upmarket interior. Good to drive, too, while standard equipment levels are generous.
Cheap to run. Versatile interior with clever Magic Seats. Superb infotainment system. Likely to be reliable.
