Tall family best SUV

My partner and I are both 6ft plus and about to have our second baby. We’re in search of a car to suit our needs. What would you recommend?

- After something reliable and easy to maintain (we are not car people)

- Needs good legroom in both front and rear seats as currently squashed in our Kia Rio is not fun with the car seat behind us (soon to be 2 car seats)

- Decent boot space we have a large stroller and head away a bit so would need space for portico and everything else babies need

- Would like to buy a hybrid or phev to save on gas since it’s so pricey atm where we are

- ideally don’t want to spend a stupid amount of money but happy to spend a bit more for something that we will be very happy with for 10ish years or that will hold value if we want to sell later for something bigger

Nice to haves
- keyless entry from both driver and passenger side
- push to start
- wireless CarPlay
- reversing camera
- adjustable driving wheel length and height
- isofix

Based in New Zealand if that changes anything you’d recommend but I assume we get all the brands that people tend to rely on here.
