There, people are happy buying light, tiny diesel vehicles with limited power, smaller wheels, and less towing capacity, etc.

Here, we like our big vehicles, head room, power, tow ratings, big wheels, etc.
The example of the CR-V that got 52mpg was a 2007 diesel manual transmission and those seat 5. I'm pretty sure that a hybrid powered in such a way would see a real world mpg of well over 75mpg unlike the Volt which was a complete and epic fail. IIRC the Prius gets in the 50s or 60s right now and that is not the newest design in the world either...

Toyota Estima Hybrid: This minivan uses both gasoline and an electric motor. It features front wheel drive with an automatic transmission. It easily gets double the gas mileage of the standard minivan at 40 miles per gallon and has been reported to regularly get as much as 65 miles per gallon

That yaris won't last long pulling a trailer like the OP wanted.

Since the OP has already chimed in and basically closed his interest in this thread, THREAD CLOSED.
