Can you recommend a comfortable and fun replacement for my Skoda Yeti?
I love my petrol 2016 Skoda Yeti 4x4 but am thinking of replacing it. What has a similar spec, particularly the high driving position and ground clearance (and heated leather seats)?
I'm not ready for a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric car, but a self-charging hybrid would be good. However, the Toyota Yaris Cross and Volvo XC40 are out of my budget.
Comfort and enjoyable driving are probably more important than fuel economy. What else should I be looking at? Would you recommend used Lexus NX?

The Ford Puma would be a good replacement for your Soda Yeti, if you can live without four-wheel drive. It's similar in size to your Skoda and well-equipped as standard, high-spec versions of the Puma get heated seats as standard. The 1.0 EcoBoost engine is available with a mild hybrid system.
If you need something larger then I wouldn't look past the Lexus NX. Your budget won't stretch to the latest model, but the old version of the NX has an excellent reputation for reliability and comfort.
