Apologies for becoming thread killjoy but I've been thinking about environmental stuff a lot recently having had a kid and was disappointed by the lack of electric / hybrid chat on this thread. If anything it seemed to be getting more 4x4/ Subaru focused. As a cycling based forum I'd hoped for a more forward thinking consensus.
Don't worry, I make a point of scratching big flash SUVs every time I see one.
While some cars are more awful than others (especially pre-ULEZ diesels), all cars are terrible in various ways and pretending you can buy your way out of that by getting a hybrid or an electric or whatever is silly.

This is true but I don't think I'd get much traction (no pun intended) by just saying all cars are awful so I thought I'd start by suggesting people buy used Toyota hybrids rather than powerful permanent AWD Subarus.

The answer to new car questions is always Toyota or Honda (or possibly Mazda or Kia).
Honda Jazz would be perfect for London. Amazing amount of space in the back with the magic seats folded up. Even better a hybrid version is within your budget. Not perfect for those longer trips but would handle it non the less.
A self charging hybrid Toyota would be great too. Auris estate is available for a little over your budget.
