Thrilled with this vehicle
I considered the Subaru Crosstrek PHEV and the Kia Niro PHEV, both of which only get 17 miles on a full charge battery-only. The Subaru's trunk was microscopic, but the driver's seat extremely comfortable. The Niro was extremely uncomfortable, and also minimal trunk space. The 17 miles on battery is the dealbreaker. I looked at a Lexus, which seemed needlessly expensive for the features. I don't need to pay for a name. The Toyota Rav4 Prime was high on battery only, but felt boxy and clunky to drive. It's just me - I don't have kids to lug around, so it felt unnecessarily large, which if large, should feel luxurious. The Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV was impressive, comfortable and luxurious, with excellent battery-only range, but bigger than I needed for my purposes, which is why the Tucson PHEV fit the bill. I'm petite - the driver seat was fully adjustable to fit my size, and allow to see and reach without cushions. 33 miles per battery charge works with my lifestyle, and HEV mode carries me longer when I need it.
