Buying a hybrid car in a year from now off.

Next year I will replace my old SUV turbodiesel (It will be then 10 years and some stupid Belgium rules are verry rude about old diesels. So my car needs to be replaced or it wil cost me to much monney and i dont want to pay those aditional stuff.

My chose is a hybrid car. But what car?

There are a lot of cars to found here in Belgium.

I like SUV's, i know that those are not the most fuel efficient.
These are the SUV's that are within budget (new or nearly new/young second hands)

- 2016 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid awd-i

(The 2016 Lexus NX 300h uses the same technologie but is just over my budget.)

Big family cars that are interesting is actually a short list of the verry long list of available cars.

- 2016 Toyota Prius
- honda accord hybrid
- ? (Some simular cars???)

The plan is to mount an additional battery in the trunk in parallel or with an concerter to the stock battery to expand the capacity. This is to have an extended EV range for the short distances and be able to charge the battery at home.

What is your opiniun?
Maybe you come up with something i didnt tought off
