It's better to choose the modes yourself (electric/internal-combustion) than to let the car decide.
Plenty of storage, but small.
Good handling, reasonable fuel consumption off the highway, but penalizing on the highway.
Lots of annoying "driver-assistance" features, fortunately deactivatable, but you have to do it at every start.

Subaru Crosstrek

The Subaru Crosstrek is a compact, go-anywhere crossover that blends rugged good looks with Subaru's familiar all-wheel-drive confidence, so it feels equally at home on backroads and in the supermarket car park. It delivers practical, reliable transport with a comfy ride and sensible features — not the flashiest cabin, but great for buyers who prefer substance over sparkle.
