What car could replace my Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV?

My Mitsubishi Outlander has been great, but I would like a new smaller car, automatic, under £40k, not fully electric please. It would need to be comfortable in the back and for longer trips. Also, any lane assist must be possible to turn off once only, it’s so annoying when you have to turn it off whenever you restart the car.

We'd recommend a Kia Niro Hybrid. It's a very comfortable small SUV that's a bit smaller than your Outlander yet still very practical. Unfortunately you won't find a car with lane assist that can be turned off indefinitely - regulations mean it has to be automatically enabled every time the car is started. It is easily disabled in the Niro, though. Alternatively, you could look at a more basic model without lane assist features such as the Dacia Jogger.
