Pros & cons

Audi Q7 60 TFSI e

Seven seats and an 865 L cargo area support large-family duties and road trips.
43 km electric range and a 17.3 kWh battery can cover short commutes and school runs.
Low combined consumption (2.6 L/100 km) when charged regularly helps cut fuel use.
AWD and strong output (462 hp, 700 Nm; 0–100 km/h in 5.7 s) enable confident long-distance travel.
43 km EV range may feel limited for longer daily commutes.
Best efficiency requires frequent charging; without it, gains diminish.
Large SUV footprint is less convenient in dense city driving and parking.
High purchase price at 74,900.

Ford Explorer Limited Hybrid

Strong, smooth acceleration (318 hp, 400 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 7.5 s) for safe passing
Good value in its segment at around $52,300 for a hybrid with space for seven
Not the easiest pick for tight city driving or parking
More about comfort and efficiency than enthusiast-grade handling
487-liter cargo capacity may be limiting if you often haul bulky gear
The $52,300 price may exceed some budgets
