Having bought a mild hybrid, I opine they work pretty well.  The Santa Fe is larger than we need but probably is fine, boring of course.  

The transition from EV to ICE is nearly undetectable.   A downside is highway mileage is nowhere near epa ratings.   Urban mileage is quite good.

I look at so many of these boring midsize SUVs and feel like I could just pull a name out of a hat and I'd be neither happy nor sad about what name it showed me. The idea of an Explorer or a Highlander or anything in that class makes me feel like... "Ok. Fine. It's a car. Whatever. It's better than walking."
 That's fair and you should definitely buy what you like, but I look at your list of potential candidates and feel exactly like the above, regarding each of them.


Except the 4Runner, those are pretty cool.

But... Toyota... so it's on my "never again" list.

buy the sports car
LOL. I've already got my toy car. It's not a "sports car", but it'll do.

Yeah, it's a matter of personal preference. I don't expect many to share mine. I joke that I should start a consulting company. Bring me your idea. If I hate it, it's going to be wildly successful. If I like it, you're catering to a niche audience and it'll never take off. :57:


This is again the personal preference thing. When it comes to Euro cars, I like Audi and BMW. Mercedes, outside of the AMG GT, has never seemed all that interesting to me. 

That said, I'm not buying a Euro vehicle. They're all excluded from my list for a reason. Despite the fact that they've embraced EV faster than some other marques.

Badge, you're like Mrs B.R.A.D. here...

You're trying to steer me to the vehicle(s) you'd want me to have, rather than the vehicle(s) I actually want :57:
