You can even get an SUV version -- I understand the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is very popular in Europe. It's been available for a year or two now, so you may even be able to get a used one if it suits your budget better.
It doenst need to be an SUV, but a big famely car.

After the change in goverment rules i decided to keep driving the current car until juni 2018.

Right now i have 2 cars that i found more interesting.

The VW Passat GTE plug in,
and the Volvo V60 AWD plug in

Both are the same price second hand.
I like the Volvo over the VW. More luxery, diesel is more fuel efficient on longer trips and has faster 0 to 100km/h time. And VW is only front wheel drive. The Volvo has front wheel diesel and rear wheel electro. Witch is more suitable for my winter skieing holidays. And winter driving.

The Outlander has an 0-100km/h time of 11 seconds. What is 2 seconds slower then my current ride. I cant go slower :P
