You could indeed consider a hybrid vehicle, but the offer is rather limited. You could think of a Subaru Crosstrek in its Onyx version and not Wilderness, as is the case with our test bench, or the Mazda CX-30. These two vehicles are not offered with a hybrid engine, however.
In the fully electric vehicle category, there was really no alternative to your current Santa Fe. On the hybrid side, however, you could consider the Toyota Highlander, a safe bet, but also the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (10-year powertrain warranty). This recharges at a terminal. Note that a hybrid engine has been integrated into the Santa Fe catalog in 2021.
The simple answer: the Porsche Macan EV. Indeed, the Canadian management of Mercedes-Benz confirms that the EQA will not cross the Atlantic and will remain exclusive to the European market.
Four more years? This means that the vehicle you want tomorrow is on sale today. Your current choices are very diverse and cover several categories (urban SUV, compact SUV, intermediate SUV). There is every reason to be confused. That said, of all your options, only the Tesla (Model Y?), Volvo (EX90 or XC90?), Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and Toyota RAV4 (Prime) most closely match your search criteria. Considering your current vehicle, we suggest you take a look at the Lexus RX and NX. Both are offered with a plug-in hybrid engine. We also invite you to discover Kia’s future electric crossover, the EV9. This will be marketed in the coming weeks.
