Can you recommend a safe SUV?

I need an SUV which is safe because I've been rear ended by an SUV twice and I have spinal issues and feel unsafe. My budget is £28,000. I wanted a hybrid. My favourite is Volvo but it’s very expensive. What do you suggest please?

Try a Toyota RAV4. Your budget will get you an early example of the latest model (launched in 2019). It's a hybrid SUV with a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating – including an impressive 93% score for adult occupants. Also consider the (mechanically very similar) Lexus UX 250h.
