Indeed, hence my correction/post removal ??
I’m still no further forward in my search, Kuga or Mazda cx5 are still top of the list but the new Mazda mhev engine still has pretty poor fuel economy. Looks like I’m waiting until q4 to see if the my24 Kuga appears (or another option I haven’t seen yet!) ?
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
