Big, powerful diesel SUV to a hybrid/electric?

Please don't judge, but I drive a massive diesel SUV and I love, love driving it with its loud engine and high vantage point of the road. I actually drive for the fun of it, not as a chore. But I feel terrible about the damage to the environment so I have finally decided to make the shift to a hybrid/electric this year.

The trouble is I can't find one that I like! I have test driven a Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, Mitsubishi Outlander and a few others, but I just can't see myself in any of them. They are either too small or too practical. I like the idea of the X1 hybrid coming out next year, but it's still a while away. Can someone please point me in the direction of an exciting hybrid model?

Depends on the budget. There's a hybrid Porsche Cayenne. I think it can do 15-20 miles on electric alone. 0-60 in 5seconds or less, I think.

Thanks I like the look of it, but not many used cars available and new ones slightly over my budget!
