Small SUV hybrid for my wife??

Wife is coming up needing a new vehicle.

Here's her criteria:
Not sitting low on the ground like a car.
Must be a hybrid.
Small SUV or wagon type.
Would like to stay under $52,000 Canadian.
If possible $42,000 for a couple year old.
Not older than a 2023.

She's been looking at the Toyota crown signia a bit high on price.
Doesn't mind the Honda CR-V hybrid, Mazda cx50 hybrid.

So what would you get?
Toss em out there for me.
Thanks

 

My wife just got a Corolla Cross and loves it. The XLE AWD Hybrid is right in your ball park new. A little smaller than a RAV4. Shorter and taller than a Corolla. Check the Toyota Canada website.
Cheers.

 

My wife has 2023 RAV4LE. She is happy with it. The problem with it is the 2023 RAV4 has a keyless ignition in the upgrades (the XLE and others). I don't know about the later models.

 

My wife has a 2021 RAV4 XLE Hybrid All Wheel Drive. We both love this car! Never causes us a moment's problem, we are just doing routine maintenance. Incredible fuel economy. Ours was built in Japan. I would strive to get one built in Japan if you can afford to be picky. Alternatively, RAV4s are also built in Ontario, Canada, and in Kentucky.

 

I have to say that many of Toyota's offerings lately, have been quite handsome! For the longest time, they've always been very conservative and almost homely looking cars.

 

My wife has a 2021 Toyota Venza and loves it. Hybrid all wheel drive and 44 miles per gallon.

 

Whatever it is, take a ride in the passenger seat. I'm 5'9" maybe 5'10 on a good day and bang my head on the roof of some of those mini hybrids....
