I'm downsizing from a Honda CR-V - what do you recommend?

I have a 2021 hybrid Honda CR-V and am looking to downsize while still staying within a small SUV range.

I need flat loading rear space, a high up driving position with adjustable front seats (preferably both), comfort, and decent reliability. I'm not concerned whether it is a hybrid or petrol, but do not want a diesel engine. An automatic is essential.

I'm looking at both the VW T-Cross and T-Roc. Are there any other obvious alternatives?

The Volkswagen T-Cross and T-Roc are good alternatives, but Honda also have an ideal replacement for your CR-V with the smaller HR-V.

It comes with hybrid powertrain, offers Honda's excellent Magic Seats to give you a flat boot floor with the seats folded and the high driving position you are looking for.
