The do everything car will almost burn zero gas in town, and has a gas engine for worry free roadtripping.

In terms of PHEVs running the gas engine. We test drove the Cayenne PHEV and the gas engine doesn't really kick in unless you REALLY mat the throttle. It accelerates fine on just electric at a decent brisk pace. But.... it's a Cayenne lol, it's not really the same price range as the Rav4 or Sportage or Outlander.
This is kind of our plan as well. Do everything car + a old gas car.

Has anyone looked into a Sorrento PHEV?

Rav 4 Prime is 5 years wait. not going to work for us.

Volvo XC 60 is a VERY NICE car but above our price point.

Sportage, Outlander, Sorrento PHEV is whats in the running.
