The hybrid is rare but the Impreza hatch might work - if it has enough ground clearance. (EDIT: it does not - only 5.1 inches)

The Scion iM is another car I forgot existed - Thanks.

Are they super slow - need to check (EDIT - they are 9.9 seconds to 60 mph)

EDIT: The newer Corolla Hatch is roomer and quicker than the iM but still only has 5.1 inches of ground clearance while the sedan has 6.7. Apparently Toyota thinks if someone want the practicality of a hatchback they are going to race VW GTIs
If you do go the Subaru route, off roading modifications are popular so I'm sure you could find a small lift kit.
