Our answer:
Hi Carol,
You chief hybrid options, which are all reasonably small, are the Toyota Corolla Hybrid (or an older Auris Hybrid), Toyota C-HR Hybrid, Lexus CT 200h or Kia Niro. We’d suggest the Lexus will feel the most ‘Mercedes-like’ in terms of solidity and build, but give all of them a try and see which one you prefer.
