We have researched the hybrid Prius and Camry (and Lexus) as H’s Lexus is getting up there in miles and years- will wait for next gen perhaps (due in a year or so). Newer generation batteries are supposed to be even better I heard.
You will need to sit in them and test drive them. Several years ago we test drove a hybrid Camry but were not ready for the driving style (ie being fuel efficient). Since you plan to own the car “forever” be sure you like the driving/ride et al. Many good choices- go with the one you like. Do not be too “penny wise and pond foolish”- you plan to live with your choice for a decade or more. Even the less expensive cars now have so many standard features that were only on luxury models just a few years ago. Check on annoying features as well as desired ones- think of the daily /thousands of times you deal with them.
Have fun car shopping- not something done very often for any of us (back in my childhood many people traded in cars every two years and ours was 12) so it is a truly major choice.
