We are in our mid-70s and would like to replace our 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack with a hybrid. The new car must have about the same amount of cargo space with the back seats folded down as our current car, to fit in two e-bikes, but we don’t want a much bigger car than the Alltrack. We are sorry to give up the VW brand because of the simple but tasteful and well-thought-out design, especially of the interior. And my partner is not ready to go full-electric or plug-in hybrid.
