Given your extremely heavy usage, your decision to choose between diesel or strong hybrid powertrains is correct, as running costs would be through the roof on a petrol vehicle. Strong hybrids still have the edge on fuel economy, and the Lexus NX is a superb SUV with a luxurious and well-equipped interior. It's comfortable too, and quite a unique proposition. However, when it comes to resale value, sadly, it isn't quite as good as the more established German brands. Thus, we would recommend the Mercedes-Benz GLC 220d. Its diesel engine is strong yet efficient, its 9-speed AT gearbox is smooth, and it has a comfortable ride too. Plus, it has a high-quality and high-tech cabin that feels classy and plush, and will likely hold its value better than the other options you've listed here.

At your price range, there aren't any full-size hybrid luxury SUVs, but you do have a few options. You could consider the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which, while not from one of the traditional luxury brands, offers comparable tech, space, and interior appointments to a full-size luxury SUV at excellent value for money.Alternatively, you would have to move a size down, but you can get an excellent, strong hybrid SUV in the form of the Lexus NX. It has a uniquely Japanese take on luxury, and its reputation for rock-solid reliability and low running costs means it will last you 15 years with little issue.
