Just saw this and thought it would warrant a look for those in this class....

 

Nissan Rogue hybrid.

 

There is about a US$1,200 difference between the 2017 Nissan Rogue SL gasoline model and the 2017 Nissan Rogue Hybrid SL model

 

Adaptive cruise control and available AWD.  Not sure about towing capacity. EDIT:  Yup, you can get a towing package as an option.

Looks like the advantage is the availability of all wheel drive, and more automated driving features. While it does show you can buy a two hook, I'm guessing it is not recommended for towing -- looking at the specs, there is no tow rating, like there are for the other trims of the Rogue. It has 176 hp w/ 144 lbs ft of torque, so less than the C-Max. It has a 14.5 gallon fuel tank, so range (at EPA rating) is just over 500 miles, so similar to the C-Max. Fuel economy is rated at 35 highway, 33 city for 2 wheel drive; for four wheel drive it gets 34 highway and 31 city. It has a slightly larger cargo area at 27.3 cu ft, and with the seats down it is about 20% larger, 61.4 cu. ft.

 

It sounds like it might be nice if you need the AWD or you need the extra cargo capacity, but you'll trade off fuel economy. It will also be interesting to hear about the comfort level from those that test drive and how it might compare, as well as what actual fuel economy will be.
