You could also look at something like the Volvo S60 phev. I wouldn’t call it a similar drive to the A6 but everyone focuses on different things in a car and with driving feel so who knows.
When it comes to fully BEV the sedan/suv driving feel distinction goes out the window a bit because the battery creates a low center of gravity even in SUVs. But for a sedan EV I’d look at the polestar 2 if you’re curious (I understand that’s not what you’re shopping for now).
Thanks for the feedback. The comments help me think through priorities and also help other ponder their situation.
I believe 2025 is the last year Volvo is selling the S60. They won’t be selling any sedans after this next car year.
Hmmm, I wonder what happened to the Toyota Camary. It’s not on the top 10 list. Boo! That’s the car H is lusting after.
Deleted - obviously I don’t read very well!

plug-in hybrids are a great start for those new to dipping into the ev world by using less gas and having fewer parts to break down than the typical ice vehicle
just the opposite. Hybrids have more parts as they have all of the components of an EV and all of the gas-necessary parts of an ICE vehicle. They have two power trains, not 1.
That’s my struggle on the idea of plug-in hybrid. (I’m a retired reliability engineer, conditioned to worry about failure modes.)
Toyota has been making them for years, so they have it down. Hybrids don’t have a higher repair rate than ICE cars
My hybrid bought in 2018 has been pretty trouble free. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend my prius prime.
I’m on my second Prius Prime. Very reliable. No problems whatsoever. 83 mpg on the current model which came out in 2023. The big improvement was pick up. 0-60 in 6.6 sec compared with the previous version which went 0-60 in 10+ sec. The difference is really noticeable. Great acceleration for getting onto highways in heavy traffic from entrances with stop signs and short entry lanes. Also the current model has improved the mileage on the battery alone to 44 miles.
Where I live, I’m half an hour to everything + frequent long trips so most all electric vehicles are not practical. But the plug in offers the best of both worlds. All electric for short drives but a Hugh efficiency gas engine (52 mpg) when I need it.
Toyota hybrids are “bulletproof.”
The new 2025 Mazda CX50 Hybrid uses the Toyota hybrid engine.
Big kiddo has been driving a RAV4 hybrid for ages. No issues. She is sad that she has to part with it soon… only 5 seats. With kids growing up, having room for all that soccer stuff and carpool buddies becomes very important! We gently hinted that Toyota makes a hybrid minivan… kid just rolled her eyes. 
We will see what will be parked by her house in a few years. 
Electric vehicle, battery electric vehicle, Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, hybrid electric vehicle, etc
It wasn’t a question. It was a link that explains the different options.
So what. Guess its now a bad thing to try to be helpful 
My 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid used the Toyota hybrid engine and it is going strong, over 125,000 miles - we are definitely getting our money out of that car.
